SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Astro server-side APIs and backend routes enable scalable REST APIs and server logic within Astro apps. Use when you need to expose endpoints, process forms, or run backend logic under src/pages/.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define API routes under src/pages/api with GET/POST handlers.
  • Server-side form handling, data processing, and REST API endpoints for Astro apps.
  • Use cases include building integration endpoints, admin utilities, and internal services.

Quick Start

Create a new API route by adding a .ts file under src/pages/api and exporting HTTP method handlers (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) using the APIRoute type.
