Dear forum,
I have been struggling a bit with the docs of Next.js, regarding "routing/api-routes". https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes
Did anyone else experience any form of struggle regarding these docs? I am wondering if anyone found any other great or better source on how to work with this "/routing/api-routes/"?
Overall I am trying to get this communicating with Google's "Firestore database".
My specific question is how would I be able to create a new page "flow" with the use of Next's "/routing/api-routes/", as shown in the image?
Thank you so much.
Best regards.
Paddy

Firstly are you using pages router or app router??
Since you sent the docs regarding pages router i would assume that but just in case.

Secondly, i would say the docs are quite clear?
I dont know what you mean by flow and all but api routes are just REST api endpoints.
You create them inside /pages/api, and then fetch them using the fetch api. Simple as that
