Use trpc on nextJS api route?

Is there a way that you can use trpc on a nextJS api route?

You may need to call your procedure(s) directly from the same server they're hosted in, router.createCaller() can be used to achieve this.

Wow, that's amazing Does this only work for the app router and not the pages router?

import { TRPCError } from '@trpc/server';
import { getHTTPStatusCodeFromError } from '@trpc/server/http';
import { appRouter } from '~/server/routers/_app';
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';
 
type ResponseData = {
  data?: {
    postTitle: string;
  };
  error?: {
    message: string;
  };
};
 
export default async (
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>,
) => {
  /** We want to simulate an error, so we pick a post ID that does not exist in the database. */
  const postId = `this-id-does-not-exist-${Math.random()}`;
 
  const caller = appRouter.createCaller({});
 
  try {
    // the server-side call
    const postResult = await caller.post.byId({ id: postId });
 
    res.status(200).json({ data: { postTitle: postResult.title } });
  } catch (cause) {
    // If this a tRPC error, we can extract additional information.
    if (cause instanceof TRPCError) {
      // We can get the specific HTTP status code coming from tRPC (e.g. 404 for `NOT_FOUND`).
      const httpStatusCode = getHTTPStatusCodeFromError(cause);
 
      res.status(httpStatusCode).json({ error: { message: cause.message } });
      return;
    }
 
    // This is not a tRPC error, so we don't have specific information.
    res.status(500).json({
      error: { message: `Error while accessing post with ID ${postId}` },
    });
  }
};

import { TRPCError } from '@trpc/server';
import { getHTTPStatusCodeFromError } from '@trpc/server/http';
import { appRouter } from '~/server/routers/_app';
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';
 
type ResponseData = {
  data?: {
    postTitle: string;
  };
  error?: {
    message: string;
  };
};
 
export default async (
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>,
) => {
  /** We want to simulate an error, so we pick a post ID that does not exist in the database. */
  const postId = `this-id-does-not-exist-${Math.random()}`;
 
  const caller = appRouter.createCaller({});
 
  try {
    // the server-side call
    const postResult = await caller.post.byId({ id: postId });
 
    res.status(200).json({ data: { postTitle: postResult.title } });
  } catch (cause) {
    // If this a tRPC error, we can extract additional information.
    if (cause instanceof TRPCError) {
      // We can get the specific HTTP status code coming from tRPC (e.g. 404 for `NOT_FOUND`).
      const httpStatusCode = getHTTPStatusCodeFromError(cause);
 
      res.status(httpStatusCode).json({ error: { message: cause.message } });
      return;
    }
 
    // This is not a tRPC error, so we don't have specific information.
    res.status(500).json({
      error: { message: `Error while accessing post with ID ${postId}` },
    });
  }
};

Hence the appRouter import

tRPC works fine on pages. the appRouter being imported here is a tRPC router, which is where you define your tRPC routes
