With rooms being created and displayed on the index page, it's now time to create dynamic routes for each room so that when you click on a room name, you are actually navigated to that room.

We'll do this by using Next.js dynamic route syntax /rooms/[...id]/page.js. This will render a page on any /rooms/:id passing the component we define the :id as params.

Here we'll take that id and fetch the room data from fauna with a Room.byId query.
