Clean and Efficient Error Handling in NextJS

[developedbynick]

Hello There. I'm new to NextJS and coming from the MERN stack.

In express there's a global error handler, but there's also a package called express-async-handler that catches any errors in route handler and calls a global error handler with the necessary data.

With all this said, Is there any way to handle errors in an API route cleanly rather than doing try/catch?

hello @developedbynick, I haven't used it lately but if you like writing your API in the style of express
check out https://github.com/hoangvvo/next-connect

they support app router pages router and you can handle errors just like express
