SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend routing and server-side logic for Astro apps, enabling clean separation of API endpoints from client code and simplifying server interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API routes live under src/pages/api/ and export named HTTP method handlers (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, ALL).
  • Server-rendered endpoints with predictable URL structure and SSR-friendly patterns for data fetching and forms handling.
  • Use cases include building REST-like APIs, form submission handlers, and small backend utilities within an Astro project.

Quick Start

Create a new Astro project, place your API routes under src/pages/api, and export HTTP method handlers (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, ALL) from each endpoint.

Astro supports form submissions by using server-rendered endpoints and HTTP method handlers within the src/pages/ structure to process POST requests and handle server-side data fetching.

What HTTP methods does Astro API routing support?

Astro API routing supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and ALL methods by exporting them as named functions from your endpoint files under src/pages/api to handle corresponding requests.

Does Astro API routing return a standard Response object?

Astro API routing returns a standard Response object from the exported HTTP method handlers, ensuring predictable URL structures and SSR-friendly patterns for backend server interactions.

How do I handle form submissions in an Astro backend?

Handle form submissions in an Astro backend by creating server-rendered endpoints under src/pages/api that export POST handlers to process incoming form data and return a standard Response.
