Routing

Section titled “Routing”

The Pages Router has a file-system based router built on concepts of pages. When a file is added to the pages directory it’s automatically available as a route. Learn more about routing in the Pages Router:

  • Pages and Layouts
    • Create your first page and shared layout with the Pages Router.
  • Dynamic Routes
