    Next.js API Route Builder with Validation and Error Handling

    Neura Editorial April 24, 2026

    Generate robust Next.js API routes with Zod validation, error handling, rate limiting, and TypeScript types.

    Prompt
    Create a Next.js App Router API route at app/api/[endpoint]/route.ts. Requirements:
    - Export async GET/POST/PUT/DELETE handler functions
    - Use Zod schemas for request body and query parameter validation
    - Implement proper error handling with try/catch and typed error responses
    - Return consistent JSON response shape: { data, error, message }
    - Add proper HTTP status codes (200, 201, 400, 401, 403, 404, 500)
    - Include request body type inference from Zod schema
    - Add rate limiting check if this is a public endpoint
    - Use NextRequest and NextResponse from next/server
    - Log errors to console with context (route, method, timestamp)
    - Handle edge cases: empty body, malformed JSON, missing fields
    - Follow existing API patterns in this project's codebase

    How to Use

    Replace [endpoint] with your route path. Works best when you provide example request/response payloads. Use with @-mention of existing API routes for pattern matching.
