Is it possible to declare API routes in a library ?

Hi @humble ether. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, it is possible to declare API routes in a library using the injectRoute option in the Astro Integration API. You can inject routes into an Astro project, which can be .astro pages or .js and .ts route handlers.

Here's an example usage of injectRoute:

injectRoute({ 
 pattern: '/foo/[dynamic]', 
 entryPoint: 'foo/dynamic-page.astro' 
});

For more information, refer to the Astro Integration API documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/integrations-reference#injectroute-option).

@radiant grotto Do these routes get overrode by a route in the src folder ?

[radiant grotto]

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Yes, there are known issues where injected routes can be overwritten by routes in the src/pages folder or by another call to injectRoute. This can happen regardless of the value of pattern, whether it's static or dynamic. You can find more information about this issue in the GitHub Issue #3602 (https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/3602).

Additionally, there's another known issue where injecting a catch-all route can cause other routes in the src/pages folder to not be found. You can find more information about this issue in the GitHub Issue #6221 (https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/6221).

@radiant grotto How to specify an entrypoint relatively from the integration index.ts file ?

[radiant grotto]

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

---

To specify an entrypoint relative to the integration index.ts file, you can use the import.meta.url property. This property provides the URL of the current module, allowing you to resolve relative paths.

Here's an example of how to specify an entrypoint relative to the index.ts file:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({
  // Other configurations...
  entryPoint: new URL('./relative-path-to-entrypoint', import.meta.url),
});

For more information on referencing relative files, refer to the Astro documentation on configuring Astro (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/configuring-astro#referencing-relative-files).
