What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of secure, validated, and efficient API routes within a Next.js 16 application, ensuring seamless data handling and robust error management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RESTful Endpoint Creation: Define GET, POST, PUT, DELETE handlers for CRUD operations.
  • Schema Validation: Implement data integrity using Zod for request bodies and parameters.
  • Prisma Integration: Safely interact with your database, adhering strictly to the prisma/schema.prisma definition.
  • Authentication & Authorization: Protect endpoints using NextAuth.js session management.
  • Error Handling: Utilize a standardized handleError function for consistent API responses.
  • Use Case: Develop a new API endpoint to create and retrieve user profiles, ensuring all incoming data is validated against a predefined schema and that only authenticated users can perform mutations.

Quick Start

Use the api-route skill to create a POST endpoint at /api/users that accepts a JSON body validated by a Zod schema and saves it to the database using Prisma.
