how do I get req.query nextjs api? - node.js

Question

I have this API, and I am trying to get the query I pass in the URL (such as products?page=1&limit=10) but I keep getting an empty object
const handler = nc().use(Cors());
handler.get(async (req, res) => {
await db.connect();
console.log(req.query)
const products = await Product.paginate({}, { page: 1, limit: 30 });
res.send(products);
});
export default handler;

Answer 1

console.log(req.query.page, req.query.limit)
You can pass any props to your api
const desiredId = 'xyz'
'https://yourAPI/getSomething?any_name_you_want='+ desiredId
//in your api
console.log(req.query.any_name_you_want)

Answer 2

Well, I have somehow managed to do it even though it probably isn't the best way. It works though and my main focus is not the backend, so I guess it's good enough
In redux toolkit query:
endpoints: (builder) => ({
getAllProducts: builder.query({
query: (page = 1) => `${baseUrl}?page=${page}`,
}),
In my index.js
const router = useRouter();
const [page, setPage] = useState(1);
const { data, isLoading, error } = useGetAllProductsQuery(page);
const handlePaginationChange = (e, value) => {
e.preventDefault();
setPage(value);
router.push(`/products?page=${value}`);
};
and my API route:
const handler = nc().use(Cors());
handler.get(async (req, res) => {
await db.connect();
const products = await Product.paginate({}, { page: req.query.page, limit: 9 });
res.send(products);
});
