Just upgraded the next version of a project to version 8 (yea I know we very behind) and looking for the documentation for the native routing features. I found a package used (next-routes) which was deprecated in 2018 and looking to replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! â¤ï¸

the readme here https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/v8.1.0 is the only place i can find without having to use the internet archive

but i think it has a lot of information so should be helpful

but tbf if your project is small enough i would even consider rewriting it to next 13 directly

because most things don't work with next that old anymore and the ecosystem will be quite unbearable

Thanks @joulev !

unfortunately this project is pretty monolithic and was built 6 years ago by a third party company. We inherited it and took it in house. A complete rewrite in next 13 would be a non-trivial amount of work.
