Configure Revalidate Route

Revalidate routes in Next.js


Implement on-demand revalidation using an API route at /revalidate.

If you're using the Basic Starter, revalidate route are already created for you. You can skip this step.

/app/api/revalidate/route.ts

app/api/revalidate/route.ts

import { revalidatePath } from "next/cache"
import type { NextRequest } from "next/server"
async function handler(request: NextRequest) {
const searchParams = request.nextUrl.searchParams
const path = searchParams.get("path")
const secret = searchParams.get("secret")
// Validate secret.
if (secret !== process.env.DRUPAL_REVALIDATE_SECRET) {
return new Response("Invalid secret.", { status: 401 })
}
// Validate path.
if (!path) {
return new Response("Invalid path.", { status: 400 })
}
try {
revalidatePath(path)
return new Response("Revalidated.")
} catch (error) {
return new Response((error as Error).message, { status: 500 })
}
}
export { handler as GET, handler as POST }
