Home
As you may understand it from the previous chapter, the app/page.jsx file is the one that is responsible for our home page https://localhost:3000 (opens in a new tab)
You can start editing it to visualize your changes live in the browser!
Creating routes
Next.js uses a file-system based router where folders are used to define routes.
Each folder represents a route segment that maps to a URL segment. To create a nested route, you can nest folders inside each other.
A special page.js file is used to make route segments publicly accessible.
In this example, the /dashboard/analytics URL path is not publicly accessible because it does not have a corresponding page.js file. This folder could be used to store components, stylesheets, images, or other colocated files.
About
Let's say you want to create a route /about and navigate to it with https://localhost:3000/about (opens in a new tab). In Next.js 13, routing is easy as creating a folder!
Just create a folder called 'about' inside your app directory like this /app/about, and then create a page file (.js, .jsx, or .tsx) which will contain the content rendered when hitting the about route.
Exercise with more routes
Let's create more routes and prepare them for our next exercises:
/events/categories/privacy-policy/terms
With that being done, let's move to the next chapter!
