How can I call a server endpoint from a svelte component?
I have a file called /api/status.ts and I'm calling it like so:
await fetch("/api/status");
But I get error 404.
I also tried adding the .json extension but it didn't work either

Hi @spark flume. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
In Astro, you can call a server endpoint from a Svelte component by importing the method from the endpoint and calling it with the Astro global to provide the request context. Here's how you can do it:
import { GET } from './api/status.ts'
let response = await GET(Astro)
const data = await response.json()
This code will call the GET method from your status.ts endpoint and use the response in your Svelte component.
However, if you're getting a 404 error, it might be because the endpoint doesn't exist or isn't correctly set up. Make sure you have a status.ts file in your src/pages/api/ directory and that it exports a GET function. Here's an example of how it should look:
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro'
export const GET: APIRoute = () => {
return new Response( JSON.stringify({ status: 'Server is up', }), )
}
This GET function will return a response with a JSON object when called.
If you're still having issues, please check the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build) for more information on setting up and calling server endpoints.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you're experiencing a common issue with routing in Astro. However, the extracts do not provide a specific solution to your problem.
Astro uses file-based routing, meaning that the file structure under your /src/pages directory directly corresponds to your website's URL structure. If you're getting a 404 error when trying to access /api/status, it could mean that the status.ts file is not in the correct location or there's an issue with the way your server is set up.
Ensure that your status.ts file is located in the /src/pages/api directory. If it's in the correct location and you're still experiencing issues, it might be a bug related to Astro or the server you're using.
