SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Astro projects often struggle with organizing server-side routes, keeping API patterns consistent, and clearly documenting backend conventions. This Skill provides a standardized guide to building and documenting Astro server-side API routes using src/pages/api with explicit HTTP method handlers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Route Convention: place all API endpoints under src/pages/api to maintain separation from client pages.
  • HTTP Method Handlers: each API file exports GET/POST/PUT/DELETE handlers.
  • Wix SDK Compatibility: demonstrates using Wix SDKs in server endpoints.
  • Examples: hello.ts, /api/users to illustrate typical patterns.

Quick Start

Create a simple API endpoint at src/pages/api/hello.ts that responds with a JSON hello message.

Frequently Asked Questions about backend

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

To create server-side API routes in Astro, place endpoint files under the src/pages/api directory and export typed HTTP method handlers like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to process requests and return JSON responses.

How do I organize REST endpoints in Astro to separate them from client pages?▼

To organize REST endpoints in Astro, place all API files under src/pages/api. This maintains a clear separation between backend server logic and frontend client pages, ensuring consistent API patterns across the project.

Can I use TypeScript to define HTTP method handlers for Astro backend endpoints?▼

Yes, you can use TypeScript to define HTTP method handlers for Astro backend endpoints. You export typed GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE functions from files in src/pages/api to handle requests and structure server logic.

How do I integrate Wix SDKs into Astro server endpoints?▼

To integrate Wix SDKs into Astro server endpoints, you import and use the SDKs within your exported HTTP method handlers in the src/pages/api directory to interact with Wix backend services server-side.

What is the best way to build a REST-like API with Astro?▼

The best way to build a REST-like API with Astro is to use the src/pages/api directory convention, exporting explicit HTTP method handlers for each endpoint to ensure standardized backend routing and clear server-side logic documentation.

Do I need to configure SSR to handle API requests in Astro?▼

Handling API requests in Astro requires considering server-side rendering (SSR) configurations, as backend endpoints process server logic and interact with HTTP requests dynamically rather than serving static client-side content.
