API Routes Skill - Next.js Secure API Development

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides expert guidance and templates for developing secure, performant, and well-structured API routes within a Next.js application, specifically for the Mintenance platform.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Secure API Development: Implements best practices for authentication, authorization, CSRF protection, and rate limiting.
• Data Validation: Utilizes Zod for robust input validation to ensure data integrity.
• Database Integration: Demonstrates seamless integration with Supabase for data persistence.
• Use Case: Develop a new API endpoint to handle user profile updates, ensuring that only authenticated users can modify their own data, all input is validated, and the request is protected against common web vulnerabilities.

Quick Start

Use the API Routes Skill to create a new POST endpoint at /api/users that accepts user data, validates it using Zod, and saves it to the Supabase database.
