Love it James, thank you so much. Can you make a video on how to handle your errors in a NextJs project?

One way to handle async errors in express is to wrap the async function in a handler so you can dry up the code and not have to write a try catch every time. Place it in a separate file, then import it into your routes.

module.exports = func => {
return (req, res, next) => {
func(req, res, next).catch(next);
}
}

app.get("/example", asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {res.send("Example")}))
