Welcome to a comprehensive starter template designed to facilitate the creation of a RESTful API using Next.js API routes. The objective is to leverage the potential of Next.js, a renowned framework widely adopted for crafting server-side rendered React applications, in developing a RESTful API. The repository features a well-organized, extensible, and scalable blueprint for structuring your API endpoints, empowered by the prowess of Next.js.
Follow the steps below to get started:
- Clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/iuzn/next-rest-api.git- Transition into the project directory:
cd next-rest-api- Proceed to install the necessary dependencies:
pnpm i
// or alternatively,
yarn- Initiate the development server:
pnpm dev
// or alternatively,
yarn devThe pivotal file for initial modifications is src/app/api/route.ts.
A basic overview of the project structure is provided below:
next-rest-api/
├── src/
│ ├── app/
│ │ ├── api/
│ │ │ ├── route.ts
├── eslintrc.json
├── .gitignore
├── next.config.js
├── next-env.d.ts
├── package.json
├── pnpm-lock.yaml
├── README.md
└── tsconfig.json
Every API endpoint is defined as a function within src/app/api/route.ts. The structure of this file has been conceived to be highly scalable and flexible, enabling seamless addition of new routes as your application evolves.
For an in-depth understanding of how to add routes or structure your requests, consult the Next.js API Routes documentation.
This project can be deployed on any platform that provides support for Next.js, including Vercel or Netlify.
