Middleware

[nicholastillman]

I would like to try using bknd with Astro via middleware. Do you have any guides on this?

Thanks!

Sure, have a look at this commit. I've started a fresh astro starter (npx bknd create -i astro) and then changed it to use bknd over middleware instead:

• remove bknd related pages (admin, api)
• add a postinstall script to copy bknd's static assets to astro's public folder
• add a onBuilt handler in bknd.config.ts to manually register the admin controller serving static files. Point it to the path you wish it to respond, and the path to your assets
• add a src/middleware.ts with your logic how to map an incoming request. I decided to route all /api* and /admin* requests to bknd

This was also implemented this way via https://github.com/cameronapak/freedom-stack-v2/blob/main/src/middleware.ts.

Leaving this open because it may be good to consider creating an Astro adapter
