What is Routing in Next.js?
When a file is added to the pages directory, it's automatically available as a route.
 
The files inside the pages directory can be used to define most common patterns.
 
Index routes : The router will automatically route files named index to the root of the directory.
 
* pages/index.js/
* pages/blog/index.js/blog

Nested routes : The router supports nested files. If you create a nested folder structure, files will automatically be routed in the same way still.
 
* pages/blog/first-post.js/blog/first-post
* pages/dashboard/settings/username.js/dashboard/settings/username

Dynamic route segments : To match a dynamic segment, you can use the bracket syntax. This allows you to match named parameters.
 
* pages/blog/[slug].js/blog/:slug (/blog/hello-world)
* pages/[username]/settings.js/:username/settings (/foo/settings)
* pages/post/[...all].js/post/* (/post/2020/id/title)
