Next.js CRM Exercise: Debounced Search

What this is A tiny Next.js app with:

• An in-memory dataset of ~300 contacts
• An API route GET /api/contacts that filters by ?q= (name or email)
• A Contacts page that lists all contacts

Your task Add a debounced, server-side search to filter contacts.

Run it

• npm install
• npm run dev
• Open http://localhost:3000/contacts

Notes

• The API simulates ~350ms latency so you can show a loading state.
• For real apps, you’d paginate and validate query params.
