Bringing Laravel-style Named Routes and Dynamic Params to Next.js

When I first started working with Next.js, coming from years of experience with Laravel, I immediately missed one particular thing: named routes. In Laravel, using named routes like route(‘dashboard.users.edit’, [‘id’ => 1]) was a dream. Clean, centralized, and safe. I never had to worry about writing URL strings manually or breaking links after a route changed. But in Next.js, especially with the new App Router in Next 13+ (and now 15), this kind of system didn’t exist out of the box. You had to hardcode paths or rely on constants with plain strings, which felt messy and repetitive. So I asked myself — why not bring Laravel’s route magic to Next.js? This is how I built a custom route helper that gives me: Centralized named route definitions Support for nested and deeply nested routes Dynamic parameter replacement (e.g., :id) Full TypeScript support with autocomplete Let’s dive in.
