How to storage data in server memory in Nextjs 13 app directory

[alexiglesiasmartinez]

I have a basic form in Nextjs with some validations and when I click on the submit button I handle the event and I create a JSON with the retrieved data.

Right now I'm doing a console.log of the JSON and everything goes pretty well.

const handleSubmit = async (event) => {

      if (formIsValid) {

         const trabajadores = [];
         additionalWorkers.forEach((element, index) => {
            trabajadores.push({
               nombre: element.name,
               dni: element.dni,
            });
         });

         const jsonToSend = {
            nombre: nombreComunidadRef.current.value,
            direccion: {
               direccion: direccionComunidadRef.current.value,
               codigo_postal: direccionComunidadCPRef.current.value,
               municipio: direccionComunidadMunRef.current.value,
               provincia: direccionComunidadProvRef.current.value,
            },
            representante_legal: {
               nombre: nombreRepresentanteRef.current.value,
               dni: dniRepresentanteRef.current.value,
            },
            nif: cifComunidadRef.current.value,
            email: correoElectronicoRef.current.value,
            videovigilancia: {
               numero_camaras: numCamarasRef.current
                  ? numCamarasRef.current.value || 0
                  : 0,
               funcionamiento: checkedFuncionamientoInputs,
            },
            datos_trabajadores: {
               trabajadores: trabajadores,
               registro_jornada: checkedRegistroJornadaInputs,
            },
         };

         console.log(jsonToSend);

         /* TODO - Storage 'jsonToSend' in server memory to display it later */

      }
}

What I need to do now is storage that JSON in the server memory, not in localStorage or sessionStorage (since this is client side), I want to save it just like in nodejs.

I know that it won't persist but I don't care, is just for a demo and learning purposes.

I created this API Route: /app/api/addComunidad/route.js

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
 
export async function GET(res) {

    /* TODO - 

        1. Get the JSON

        2. Storage it in the server

        3. Return OK response

    */
    
    const data = await res.json()
    return NextResponse.json({ data })
}

I can't find any information on the Internet and ChatGPT and other AI only gives you legacy code that doesn't work in the Nextjs13 with the new app directory features

Any luck?

How about using globalThis ?
