nextjs override page route

Certainly! Below is an example of how to override a page route in Next.js:

1. Create a custom server file in your Next.js project. For instance, name it server.js.

2. Inside this server.js file, import the required modules: express and next.

3. Define a custom server using express and create a get route for the specific page you want to override.

4. Within the get route, use res.redirect to redirect to the desired page or route.

Here's an example code snippet demonstrating these steps:

// server.js

const express = require('express');
const next = require('next');

const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const app = next({ dev });
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();

app.prepare().then(() => {
  const server = express();

  // Custom route override
  server.get('/old-page-route', (req, res) => {
    res.redirect(301, '/new-page-route');
  });

  // Default route handling
  server.get('*', (req, res) => {
    return handle(req, res);
  });

  server.listen(3000, (err) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log('> Ready on http://localhost:3000');
  });
});

Remember to replace /old-page-route and /new-page-route with the actual routes you want to handle and redirect. Additionally, ensure to start your server using node server.js instead of the default Next.js server start command.

This setup allows you to intercept specific routes and redirect them to new destinations as needed in your Next.js application.
