Next.js: POST to a route

Created on 9 Dec 2016  路  3Comments  路  Source: vercel/next.js

Looking through the documentation, I don't see a way to POST to a route. Is this possible?

This would be great to clarify in the readme as I spent a little too much time thinking of the best way to solve this using only next.js before realizing that an external API app makes so much more sense :)

What are you trying to achieve? Next is a client-side framework that renders html (with server-side html rendering). For any API calls (GET/POST) you will need a server environment that handles this.

Unless you configure custom routes, which is under development (https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/291) I would still advise a separate Node server for your backend (in Express or Hapi)

I think a great place to put this is the FAQ!
