How did I build 🏗️my first 🗄️API with MongoDB and Next.js?

By the way, I am a frontend developer🧑🏿‍💻, I always love to use APIs and work with them.
but the project that I was wanted to build API is like Apple's 🍎 Store,
and this gave me the will to build an API and release it,
A few weeks ago I completed working with my Clone Of Twitter Project, where I had used **Firebase **as a database,
but now I wanted to push myself and use **MongoDB **as a database.

After thinking a while I start with the project's building

Open source Apple Store API.

using Next.js API Routes it has become very easy to manage the backend.
I make simple routing and pages so if the comes to this page will be provided with other these data.

BaseUrl : https://oas.vercel.app/api

/all

baseUrl /all

it provides all the data from the database, from all the categories without filteration. 😊

/category/:category

baseurl /category/iphone

here you can add category for your output. and result will be from that category only.
example: + /category/watch
+ /category/iphone
+ /category/macbook
+ /category/airpods
+ /category/ipad

/series/:series

baseurl /series/MacBook Air
🧑‍💻every product has series name such as iPhone 13 has series name such as iPhone 13, under iPhone 13 two products come iPhone 13 & iPhone 13 mini.

They are case sentitive 😓 so iphone_13, iPhone_13 won't work ❌,
correct way /series/iPhone 13 ✅
without %20

/:_Id

baseurl /6228d7ac2e00fb1164b2df27

for getting results realted to single product the /:_Id is used.
example: /6228d7ac2e00fb1164b2df27,
these are id sentitive fetch with their respective id's.😅

{
    "data": {
        "_id": "6228d7ac2e00fb1164b2df27",
        "product_name": "MacBook Pro",
        "product_price": {
            "IN": 109000,
            "US": 999,
            "GBP": 899
    },
    "product_description": "Id culpa aliquip ipsum excepteur sunt incididunt laboris magna incididunt nostrud.",
}
}
