}Code Examples
Common usage patterns
API route
Create a serverless API endpoint
// app/api/users/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export async function GET() {
const users = await db.users.findMany();
return NextResponse.json(users);
}
export async function POST(req: Request) {
const body = await req.json();
const user = await db.users.create({ data: body });
return NextResponse.json(user, { status: 201 });
}Dynamic route with params
Server component with dynamic segment
// app/users/[id]/page.tsx
export default async function UserPage({ params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) {
const { id } = await params;
const user = await db.users.findUnique({ where: { id } });
if (!user) notFound();
return <div>{user.name}</div>;
