SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Building server-side logic for Wix CLI apps requires knowing the file-based routing conventions, Astro endpoint patterns, and Wix-specific deployment workflow. This Skill provides the exact patterns for creating backend HTTP endpoints without guesswork. ## Core Features & Use Cases - File-Based Endpoint Creation: Generates TypeScript handlers in src/pages/api/ with support for dynamic routes like [id].ts and all HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). - Request & Response Patterns: Provides typed handlers using APIRoute from Astro, covering path parameters, query strings, JSON bodies, headers, and proper status codes. - Frontend Integration: Shows how to call endpoints from frontend components using Wix's httpClient.fetchWithAuth(). - Use Case: A developer building a Wix app needs a REST endpoint to handle form submissions. This Skill generates a validated POST handler at src/pages/api/submissions.ts with error handling and correct response codes. ## Quick Start Create a backend HTTP endpoint for my Wix CLI app that accepts POST requests with JSON data at /api/contact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a backend HTTP endpoint in a Wix CLI app?▼

Create a TypeScript file in src/pages/api/ and export named functions for each HTTP method, typed with APIRoute from astro. The file path determines the endpoint URL, and endpoints are auto-discovered without registration.

How do I add dynamic route parameters to Wix API endpoints?▼

Use square brackets in the filename, such as src/pages/api/users/[id].ts, which maps to /api/users/:id. Access the parameter via the params object in your APIRoute handler.

Can I call Wix backend endpoints from my frontend components?▼

Yes, use httpClient.fetchWithAuth() from @wix/essentials to call your endpoints. Build the URL from import.meta.url origin plus your /api/ path, and pass method and body options for POST requests.

Why is my Wix HTTP endpoint not appearing in the app dashboard?▼

HTTP endpoints do not appear on the Extensions page and require no registration. They are auto-discovered from src/pages/api/ and become live only after you build and release the project.

How do I deploy or delete a Wix CLI backend endpoint?▼

Run the build command, optionally preview, then release the project to make endpoints live. To delete an endpoint, remove its file from src/pages/api/ and release again.
