Api routes

Api routes can be created the same way as page routes. To register an api route, just create a file inside your Api Directory.

All api routes will be prefixed with api. If you create a users.js inside the root of your Api directory the final url will be /api/users.

Get request

Example of a basic route which will react on a get request.

export default async ({ request, response }) => {
    return response.json({ result: "success" });
}

Post request

Example of a basic route which will react on a post request.

const post = async ({ request, response }) => {
    return response.json({ result: "success" });
};

export { post };

Mixed requests

const post = async ({ request, response }) => {
    return response.json({ result: "get success" });
};

const get = async ({ request, response }) => {
    return response.json({ result: "post success" });
};

export { post, get };

Using dependency injection

Luna passes a container to every api route which can be used to retrieve defined services.

import AuthService from '../services/auth-service.js';

export default async ({ request, response, container }) => {
    const authService = container.get(AuthService);
    return response.json(authService.getCurrentUser());
};

Setting a different api domain

To set a different api domain, you can change the context and domain properties inside the api section of your luna.config.js.

{
    api: {
        domain: "<url-to-your-api-host>"
        context: "<optional-context-path>"
    }
}
