# Server directory
|
||
|
||
The server directory is used to create any backend logic for your Nuxt application. It supports HMR and powerful features.
|
||
|
||
The `server/` directory contains API endpoints and server middleware for your project.
|
||
|
||
## API Routes
|
||
|
||
Nuxt will automatically read in any files in the `~/server/api` directory to create API endpoints.
|
||
|
||
Each file should export a default function that handles api requests. It can return a promise or JSON data directly (or use `res.end()`).
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
#### Hello world
|
||
|
||
```js [server/api/hello.ts]
|
||
export default (req, res) => 'Hello World'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
See result on http://localhost:3000/api/hello
|
||
|
||
#### Async function
|
||
|
||
```js [server/api/async.ts]
|
||
export default async (req, res) => {
|
||
await someAsyncFunction()
|
||
|
||
return {
|
||
someData: true
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Example:** Using Node.js style
|
||
|
||
```ts [server/api/node.ts]
|
||
import type { IncomingMessage, ServerResponse } from 'http'
|
||
|
||
export default async (req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse) => {
|
||
res.statusCode = 200
|
||
res.end('Works!')
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Server Middleware
|
||
|
||
Nuxt will automatically read in any files in the `~/server/middleware` to create server middleware for your project.
|
||
|
||
These files will be run on every request, unlike [API routes](./api) that are mapped to their own routes. This is typically so you can add a common header to all responses, log responses or modify the incoming request object for use later on in the request chain.
|
||
|
||
Each file should export a default function that will handle a request.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
export default async (req, res) => {
|
||
req.someValue = true
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
There is nothing different about the `req`/`res` objects, so typing them is straightforward.
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
import type { IncomingMessage, ServerResponse } from 'http'
|
||
|
||
export default async (req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse) => {
|
||
req.someValue = true
|
||
}
|
||
```
