api routes in solid start
Hi, is it possible to create an api route in solid start with tanstack router? when i add api folder with firebase-handler.ts i get populated with import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/solid-router'
export const Route = createFileRoute('/api/firebase-handler')({
component: RouteComponent,
})
function RouteComponent() {
return <div>Hello "/api/firebase-handler"!</div>
}
and i get 503 error, there is nothing in the docs about api routes, thanks.

manual-pinkOP•6mo ago
"@solidjs/start": "^1.1.2",
"@tanstack/router-plugin": "^1.112.0",
"@tanstack/solid-router": "^1.114.1",
"@tanstack/solid-router-devtools": "^1.114.1",
thanks!quickest-silver•6mo ago
ah ok, no idea about that combo unfortunately
most likely you should not create the api route in router if you want solid/start to serve it
i would recommend
@tanstack/solid-start insteadmanual-pinkOP•6mo ago
thanks! so now i have such package.json:
and still getting 503 Server Unavailable
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'update') when i create api folder in routes folder i get it populated likle it was a route and when i replace this code with import type { APIEvent } from "@solidjs/start/server";
export async function GET(event: APIEvent) {
return new Response("OK", { status: 200 });
} I assume that this is from solid router b ut is there no way to create API Routes in tanstack router for solid js?

why are you mixing server side stuff with Tanstack router?
if you are not using @tanstack/solid-start, Tanstack router will only be client side

ah ok i thought tanstack start is only for React, would you recommend @tanstack/solid-start over regular solid start with solid router?

sorry my bad 🙂 and thank you! so api routes are server functions? i wrote tanstack router docs yesterday and did not find about api routes
quickest-silver•6mo ago
no
server functions and API routes (btw they have been renamed to server routes on the alpha version) are different
you looked at the wrong docs 😄
this is a Start feature, not a Router feature
