Why is nextjs app reloading when I hit API endpoint?

[Hemanth-M-K]

Hello,

I have a nextjs app that is running with two pages:

/demo
/api/signup
For some reason when I first hit the /api/signup endpoint (or simply refresh the page) it will trigger a HMR reload of the app. This also happens when making fetch calls to the api, the app reload's the the request made to the API does not work because of the interruption. Why is this happening?

Subsequent calls to the api will not result in a reload.

This happens when using next dev and next build && next start.
