Is this possible? Something similar to the fetch('/api/endpoint') syntax from the previous version of Next.js except for the App Routes Route Handler?

Can you elaborate?

are you asking how you would make api routes to then call from your pages?

api routes meaning route handlers as they are called in the app router

should be possible

you can still use pages api route with app dir

but its not recommended though

better if you call the function directly

Yeah I thought the case would just be implementing the server side logic directly in the server component, just wanted to make 100% sure first
