nextjs-16-proxy-patterns

What problem does it solve?

This skill documents Next.js 16 proxy patterns to replace older middleware usage, including proxy.ts, async request APIs, and boundary intercept patterns at the network edge.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Proxy pattern: Replace middleware with proxy.ts and update runtime expectations.
• Authentication & headers: Intercept and modify requests at the network boundary.
• Configuration migration: Understand how to adapt to Next.js 16 proxy config.

Quick Start

1. Rename middleware.ts to proxy.ts and update exports to proxy().
2. Implement authentication checks in proxy.ts.
3. Adapt your config to Next.js 16 proxy conventions.
