🧪 MongoDB POST API — Mongoose + Next.js

This POST API lets you insert new users into your MongoDB database. Below are two methods:

📌 Example 1 — Hardcoded User Data

Connects to MongoDB Atlas
Saves fixed user data: Ali / Tester / PyTest
Returns the inserted user object

import mongoose from "mongoose";
import MongoDBURl from "../../../MongoDB/mongodb-connect";
import userModel from "../../../MongoDB/userModel";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export const POST = async () => {
  await mongoose.connect(MongoDBURl);

  const newUser = new userModel({
    name: "Ali",
    role: "Tester",
    Skills: "PyTest",
  });

  const user = await newUser.save();
  return NextResponse.json({ result: user });
};

📌 Example 2 — Dynamic User Data from Request

Accepts dynamic payload using await req.json()
Can be used with frontend forms or API clients
Returns saved user data on success

import mongoose from "mongoose";
import MongoDBURl from "../../../MongoDB/mongodb-connect";
import userModel from "../../../MongoDB/userModel";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export const POST = async (req) => {
  await mongoose.connect(MongoDBURl);

  const payload = await req.json();
  const newUser = new userModel(payload);

  const user = await newUser.save();
  return NextResponse.json({ result: user }, { status: 200 });
};

Note: Prefer the dynamic version in production. It gives flexibility to receive data from user input (like forms, fetch calls, etc).
