please describe your confusion

how to make a custom route?

i told u in general

here is your custom route

in order to access a db, thats a separate thing

but this is how you would create a dynamic route

through api

so

a users enters

then the code gets the "bacon"

run its too api and see if its in db

if not

else

404

it shows the user

it goes to that dynamic route, and using the dynamic text "bacon", it queries your api to either get the data, or return null

if null then return 404, otherwise show user

yes

thats what Ardanis code had showed here

const data = await getData(params.user)
if(data) return <>Hello {data.username}</>
if(!data) redirect('/not-found')

the getData function was a query to your api, which PASSED in data

in this case, params.user represents this dynamic part of the url

redirect is not defined

1.) You didnt import it
2.) i would again, suggest learning nextjs or even whatever language you are writing it in, because it doesnt seem like you have the fundamentals down

you are just jumping right into it

are you writing it in javascript or typescript?

tsx

i know ts and js

i just dont know next

i feel like if you knew ts then this would be pretty self explanatory. Im also assuming you use vscode, so it would also show you a mouse hover error, or in the problems console

but regardless, go watch a video on nextjs, or start learning it from the docs

i know what the error means

i was just saying

the error
