#Query param
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
In Next.js, you can access query parameters in a few different ways depending on the context of your application. Here are some methods based on the information provided in the extracts:
- In API Routes: You can access query parameters in API routes using the
NextRequestobject. Here's an example where we get the 'email' query parameter:
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export const config = {
runtime: 'edge',
}
export default async function handler(req: NextRequest) {
const { searchParams } = new URL(req.url)
const email = searchParams.get('email')
return new Response(email)
}

In Pages (Server Components): You can use the
searchParamsprop to access search parameters in Pages (Server Components). Source (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params) -
In Client Components: You can use the
useParamshook to read a route's dynamic params filled in by the current URL. Here's an example:
'use client'
import { useParams } from 'next/navigation'
export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
const params = useParams()
// Route -> /shop/[tag]/[item]
// URL -> /shop/shoes/nike-air-max-97
// `params` -> { tag: 'shoes', item: 'nike-air-max-97' }
console.log(params)
return <></>
}

Please note that the specific method to use depends on the context of your application and the specific requirements of your use case.

@iron magnet Thanks, now how do i redirect to a url in an api route
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Next.js, you can perform a redirect in an API route using the res.redirect() method. Here's an example:
export default async function handler(req, res) {
const { name, message } = req.body
try {
await handleFormInputAsync({ name, message })
res.redirect(307, '/')
} catch (err) {
res.status(500).send({ error: 'failed to fetch data' })
}
}
In this example, if the form is successfully submitted, the client is redirected to the / path. If there's an error, a 500 status code is returned with an error message.
You can also use the NextResponse.redirect() method to produce a response that redirects to a URL. Here's an example:
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/new', request.url))
In this example, the client is redirected to the /new path.

@iron magnet how do i return a notfound error on the api route
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Next.js, you can return a notFound error in an API route by setting the response status to 404 and optionally sending a message. Here's an example:
export default function handler(req, res) {
// ... your logic here
// If something is not found, return a 404 status
res.status(404).json({ message: 'Not found' })
}
In this example, if something is not found, a 404 status code is returned with a 'Not found' message.
Please note that this is a general way to return a 404 status in an API route. The specific implementation may vary depending on your application's requirements and the specific use case.
