Routing Advanced

Video Summary

In this video, Josh W. explores two advanced routing concepts in Next.js 13: parallel routes and intercepting routes. Parallel routes allow you to render multiple pages at the same time, even though they are completely independent. This can be useful for showing a modal over the current page, for example. Intercepting routes allow you to define custom behavior for certain routes. For example, you could use intercepting routes to show a login modal when a user tries to access a protected page. Josh demonstrates how to use these concepts in a real-world application. He also provides a link to his full walkthrough of the Next.js 13 app router.
