 Server adapter packages help you wrap an access-control-enabled Prisma client into backend CRUD APIs that can be safely called from the frontend. Here's an example for Next.js:
 
 ```ts
-// pages/api/model/[...path].ts
+// /src/app/api/model/[...path]/route.ts
 
-import { requestHandler } from '@zenstackhq/next';
+import { NextRequestHandler } from '@zenstackhq/server/next';
+import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
 import { enhance } from '@zenstackhq/runtime';
 import { getSessionUser } from '@lib/auth';
 import { prisma } from '@lib/db';
 
 // Mount Prisma-style APIs: "/api/model/post/findMany", "/api/model/post/create", etc.
 // Can be configured to provide standard RESTful APIs (using JSON:API) instead.
-export default requestHandler({
-    getPrisma: (req, res) => enhance(prisma, { user: getSessionUser(req, res) }),
-});
+
+function getPrisma(req: NextRequest) {
+    // getSessionUser extracts the current session user from the request, its
+    // implementation depends on your auth solution
+    return enhance(prisma, { user: getSessionUser(req) });
+}

+const handler = NextRequestHandler({ getPrisma, useAppDir: true });
