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.
