Creating API Routes

// app/api/users/route.ts
export async function GET() {
  const users = await db.user.findMany()
  return Response.json(users)
}

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const body = await request.json()
  const user = await db.user.create({ data: body })
  return Response.json(user)
}
