I want to access /api/something/[id] the id part.

Answered by B33fb0n3
you can get it via the params like:
app/items/[slug]/route.ts
export async function GET(
  request: Request,
  { params }: { params: { slug: string } }
) {
  const slug = params.slug // 'a', 'b', or 'c'
}

I don't want to create new post but where would you suggest me to learn next.js validation. Like the proper way to handle let say trycatch and how to display that data in toast.
