Is there a way to disable all next.js api routes in production environment?

Question

During the developing phase, API routes are good for me with Mock data.

While in the Production environment, I have my own backend service.

Is there a way to disable all the API routes?

Answer 1

Thanks for @juliomalves' suggestion, I found it can add redirect rules in next.config.js to disable (redirect to 404) all the /api/* requests 💚💙🤎

const nextConfig = {
  redirects: () => {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
      return [
        {
          source: "/api/:slug*",
          destination: '/404',
          permanent: true,
        }
      ];
    } else {
      return []
    }
  },
  ...
}
