Im trying to make an API that check in a folder to check for folder names to return me those names.
But the problem i keep running in is the fact that i keep getting hit by a 404 when calling the api using fetch.
Important to note i am using nextron but this part should be fully nextjs.
pages/_app.jsx
/page/api/fetchchats/route.js
I am kind of at a loss as to why i keep getting 404's

import fs from "fs";
import path from "path";
export default function GET(req, res) {
const parentDirectoryPath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'chats');
console.log(parentDirectoryPath);
fs.readdir(parentDirectoryPath, (err, files) => {
if (err) {
return res.status(500).json({ error: 'Unable to scan directory' });
}
// Filter out only directories
const folderList = files.filter(file => fs.lstatSync(path.join(parentDirectoryPath, file)).isDirectory());
res.status(200).json(folderList);
});
}

Not sure why you are getting 404's, but i also thought to mention that it seem slike you are doing a chat app, is saving the information as a file the correct way? I feel like you should be using some database with some level of realtime capability in it

i managed to figure it out. it turns out i had to swap over to app router. (brought a bunch of problems with it).
Works fine now.
As for database. Its an AI chatbot that has a memory of 8192 tokens. wheras i could put that into a database. i already have a server etc running so i prefer to not make so many calls. where local filestorage is fine for this usecase
