Add file type to API route
I am trying to create an API route that generates custom meta images. I have successfully done this. But I am unable to add the
.png file extension for the path. How can I create an API route like '/api/images/meta/$id.png'?4 Replies

I've been trying to figure it out as well.
In Remix I could name the route like 'images.$id[.]png' to kind of escape the "." but I haven't found the equivalent in Tanstack Start. I'll let you know if I find a solution.

we don't have a way to escape anything right now
can you please create a github issue as a feature request?

Will do. Thanks.

An alternative, which opens up some nice possibilities to output different image types from the same route ''/api/images/meta/$id', is to think of $id as the filename + extension and then do something like this in your route:
Then you can handle requests for both /api/images/meta/test.jpg and /api/images/meta/test.png from the same route and return an error if you don't support the extension or file type.
