Is it possible to access the pathname in a Next.js server component?

[Sathyaraj-dev]

I'm working with server components in Next.js and would like to know if there's a way to access the pathname directly within these components. In client components, I can use the useRouter hook to get the pathname, but I'm unsure how to achieve this in server components.

Are there any built-in methods or approaches for accessing the current pathname in server components, particularly in the context of dynamic routes? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

You can do it by setting cookies from middleware, that is one option.

Himanshu,

Thanks for the answer! Besides using cookies in middleware, are there any other options you would suggest?

If you want to access the value of the pathname, besides using cookies you can use the params from a page.tsx or layout.tsx. Learn more
