I'm learning to code and I noticed tons of docs are still using pages router such as Stripe. What is the best approach to implementing those tools/apis into my app? Thanks

The best thing to do is to know what and why third partys use specific stuff and then you know the corresponding part in the app router for it. Then just use the code of the third party in the correct place of your app router

It depends on what the docs are your referring to. Anything external for vercel and or nextjs is subject to updating when they feel like it šŸ˜…
Remember that a lot not all of the issues can be resolved by using ā€œuse clientā€ on the page though I would try to understand why that’s needed but in a pinch when referring to old documentation I’ll get the initial setup working using the use client directive then work myself backwards to see what actually needs to be client side.
@Dwarf Hotot Got it so just basically understand things better. Do you know when the docs may be updated to app router?
if you are just talking about stripe, there are some updated docs (for app router) already. But yea, that's basically it

@Jboncz @B33fb0n3 gotcha. Thank you both, I also have been using claude to do stuff so I'm glad that also exists for a beginner
@Dwarf Hotot Btw where is the updated doc?
when I see it in the future I will tell you šŸ‘
