Learn how to use React, next-connect, Multer, and axios to upload files to your Next.js app
I am going to give a brief overview of how to upload files with React and Next.js API routes. In this article, I will assume you are familiar with adding npm packages and with using Next.js, and that you have created an API route before.
Below is a simple example of a Next.js API route.
export default (req, res) => {
if (req.method === 'POST') {
// Process a POST request
res.status(200).json({ data: 'success' });
} else {
// Handle any other HTTP method
res.status(405).json({ error: `Method '${req.method}' Not Allowed` });
}
};
To make things easier when it comes to adding middleware to the API routes, we are going to use the next-connect library.
