Hi @austere sail. 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 access collection data from YAML files in server actions in Astro. Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, here's how you can achieve this:
-
First, you'll need to set up YAML support in your Astro project. You can do this by installing and configuring the
@rollup/plugin-yamlplugin as described in the Add YAML Support recipe. -
Once YAML support is set up, you can use the Content Collections API to define and query your YAML content. In your
src/content.config.tsfile, you can define a collection that uses thefile()loader to load your YAML data:
import { defineCollection } from 'astro:content';
import { file } from 'astro/loaders';
const email = defineCollection({
loader: file('src/data/singletons/email.yaml'),
schema: /* define your schema here */
});
export const collections = { email };
- In your server action, you can then use the
getEntry()function fromastro:contentto retrieve the data from your YAML file. Here's an example of how you might do this in a server action:
import { defineAction } from 'astro:actions';
import { getEntry } from 'astro:content';
export const server = {
getEmailData: defineAction({
async handler() {
const emailData = await getEntry('email', 'email');
return emailData.data;
}
})
};
This approach allows you to access your YAML data on the server side within your actions. Remember to adjust the file paths and collection names to match your project structure.
