SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Astro server-side API routes and backend endpoints are essential for building robust web apps. This skill defines how to implement server-side API routes in Astro, enabling you to create endpoints, handle requests, and run backend logic under src/pages/.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server-rendered API routes: create HTTP handlers in src/pages/api and map URL paths automatically.
  • File-based routing: leverage directory structure and dynamic routes to implement RESTful endpoints.
  • Wix SDK integration: use Wix packages in server-side endpoints for data, auth, and e-commerce flows.
  • Standardized responses and context: return JSON responses with proper status codes and utilize the Astro request/response context.

Quick Start

Create a new backend API by adding a TypeScript handler under src/pages/api and start the Astro server to serve API routes.

Frequently Asked Questions about backend

FAQPage Schema
How do I create server-side API routes in Astro?▼

To create Astro API routes, add TypeScript files under the src/pages/api directory. Astro automatically maps these file paths to URL endpoints, allowing you to handle HTTP requests and execute backend logic server-side.

Can I use TypeScript to define GET and POST handlers in Astro backend endpoints?▼

Yes, you can export standard HTTP method handlers like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE from TypeScript files in Astro. This allows you to define typed backend endpoints and handle specific request methods directly within your API routes.

What is the best way to return JSON responses from Astro API routes?▼

The best way to return JSON responses in Astro is to utilize the native Astro request and response context. By returning a standard JSON object with proper HTTP status codes, Astro automatically serializes the data and sends the correct content-type headers.

Does Astro support Wix SDK integrations in server-side endpoints?▼

Yes, Astro supports Wix SDK integrations within server-side endpoints. You can import and use Wix packages in your API routes to handle data, authentication, and e-commerce flows securely on the server.

How do dynamic routes work for building RESTful APIs in Astro?▼

Astro uses file-based routing to build RESTful APIs, where directory structures and dynamic file names map directly to URL parameters. This allows you to create flexible endpoints that handle contextual request data for various CRUD operations.
