Suggested Fix

Getting url params in Next.js

To get url params in Next.js, you can use the useRouter hook provided by Next.js. Here's how you can access the params:

Import the useRouter hook from next/router.

jsx

Inside your component, use the useRouter hook to access the params.

jsx

In the above code, router.query contains all the query parameters in the url. So, if your url is /users/123, router.query.userid will be 123.

Make sure your component is within a pages directory in Next.js for this to work properly.

By following these steps, you should be able to access url params in Next.js similar to how you would in Express.
