next-body-parser

A lightweight and type-safe body parser for Next.js API routes (App Router).

This library is built on top of Next.js, providing an enhanced and unified solution for parsing both JSON and FormData in Next.js API routes. It complements the built-in Next.js body parsing capabilities, especially for FormData handling, which is not natively supported by Next.js.

Features

• ✨ Supports both JSON and FormData
• ✅ Type-safe and modular
• 🪶 Tiny and dependency-free

Installation

npm install next-body-parser

}

With FormData

import { BodyParser } from "next-body-parser";

export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
    const formData = await request.formData();
