Next.JS - `.htaccess` file?

Question

I'm just starting out with my first Next.JS app. I've used npx create-next-app and have made a few pages, when I realized that I'm not sure how to use a .htaccess file. I'm used to Apache taking care of this stuff for me, and simply putting my .htaccess file into my Next.JS app's root directory unsurprisingly didn't seem to cut it. How would I go about setting up a .htaccess file similar to the following?

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^profile/([a-z0-9]+) profile.html

If You use next export to SSG on your project This .htaccess file will fix redirection problem

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
