backend

To create backend API routes in Astro, you export typed HTTP method functions like GET or POST from files under src/pages/api. Each handler receives the Astro context and returns a standard Response.

Astro backend routes use file-based routing where the file path under src/pages/api determines the endpoint URL. This enables clean organization of server functionality and supports dynamic route handling.

Yes, you can handle form submissions and RESTful operations using Astro endpoints. Exporting HTTP method handlers allows you to process incoming data, perform REST operations, and return standard JSON responses.

Astro endpoints support typed handlers, making TypeScript beneficial for writing robust backend logic. You can export typed HTTP method functions to process server-side tasks while receiving the Astro context safely.

The best way to structure dynamic API routes in Astro is by placing typed handler files within src/pages/api. This file-based approach automatically maps dynamic routes and supports clean organization of server functionality.

Astro endpoints prevent client-side exposure by securely processing backend logic on the server. They handle data retrieval and form submissions through server-side API routes, returning standard Responses without exposing underlying logic.
