The primary purpose of a router in Next.js is to handle client-side navigation and URL routing within the application. It allows you to define and manage routes, map URLs to specific pages or components, and enable seamless navigation between pages without reloading the entire application. In Next.js, the router enables: Automatic Routing: Each file in the pages directory automatically becomes a route, making it easy to create and manage routes without configuring a separate routing system. Dynamic Routing: Next.js supports dynamic routes, allowing you to define routes with parameters, such as /posts/[id], to handle dynamic content. Linking Between Pages: The router provides a Link component for client-side navigation between pages, allowing for fast transitions and prefetching of page data. Routing APIs: The router exposes various APIs (like useRouter) to programmatically navigate, access route parameters, and manage route changes. |
