Hey guys, I'm a Front-end dev very comfortable with React, learning more about Next.js and I have a couple of questions,
I'm doing a code exercise where the next app is using version 13.2, but it uses pages router, so no server components right?
when creating api routes, I do need to export one default handler() function by file on the /pages/api folder, right?
it seems that somehow getServerSideProps still works in this project, is it because when you use the pages router those functions still work?
What are the other key things that I need to know in this kind of project?
btw the project uses typescript

if you are just learning nextjs you shouldnt be focusing on pages

Ditto. The app router is the contemporary way to go.
