🦾 Next.js Routing – Upgrade to the App Router from Pages Router

[isaaclombardssw]

Pain

As per the Next.js documentation, it's recommend to use the app router as opposed to the pages.

Tasks

• Does this migration make sense to do? Get a second opinion.

---

As per my conversation with @wicksipedia we should start to look at moving from the App Router to the Pages Router.

Note we can have both routers on a project at any given time, next will scan for the pages router first then the app router.

So we want to implement this in stages, starting with the least complex routes then moving to the more complex

Tasks

• 🚏 Migrate Root Layout (_document and _app) files  #2628
• Move all base routes (i.e page/) to the app router (i.e /search, /404) #2554
• Move /whats-new routes to the app router #2553
• Move blogs to app router #2555
• 🚏 Move docs to app router #2556
• Move pages to app router #2557
