 For an API route to work, you need to export a function as default (a.k.a **request handler**), which then receives the following parameters:

-## Connect/Express middleware support
-
-You can also use [Connect](https://github.com/senchalabs/connect) compatible middleware.
-
-For example, [configuring CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) for your API endpoint can be done leveraging the [cors](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors) package.
-
-First, install `cors`:
-
-```bash
-npm i cors
-# or
-yarn add cors
-```
-
-Now, let's add `cors` to the API route:
-
-```js
-import Cors from 'cors'
-
-// Initializing the cors middleware
-const cors = Cors({
-  methods: ['GET', 'HEAD'],
-})
-
-// Helper method to wait for a middleware to execute before continuing
-// And to throw an error when an error happens in a middleware
-function runMiddleware(req, res, fn) {
-  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
-    fn(req, res, (result) => {
-      if (result instanceof Error) {
-        return reject(result)
-      }
-
-      return resolve(result)
-    })
-  })
-}
-
-async function handler(req, res) {
-  // Run the middleware
-  await runMiddleware(req, res, cors)
-
-  // Rest of the API logic
-  res.json({ message: 'Hello Everyone!' })
-}
-
-export default handler
-```
-
-> Go to the [API Routes with CORS](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-cors) example to see the finished app.

 ## Extending the `req`/`res` objects with TypeScript
 
 For better type-safety, it is not recommended to extend the `req` and `res` objects. Instead, use functions to work with them:
