Build forms with API routes

このコンテンツはまだ日本語訳がありません。

An HTML form causes the browser to refresh the page or navigate to a new one. To send form data to an API endpoint instead, you must intercept the form submission using JavaScript.

This recipe shows you how to send form data to an API endpoint and handle that data.

  1. Create a form component using your UI framework. Each input should have a name attribute that describes the value of that input.

    Be sure to include a <button> or <input type="submit"> element to submit the form.

    src/components/FeedbackForm.tsx
    export default function Form() {
    return (
    <form>
    <label>
    Name
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required />
    </label>
    <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required />
    </label>
    <label>
    Message
    <textarea id="message" name="message" required />
    </label>
    <button>Send</button>
    </form>
    );
    }
  2. Create the POST API endpoint that will receive the form data. Use request.formData() to process it. Be sure to validate the form values before you use them.

    This example sends a JSON object with a message back to the client.

    src/pages/api/feedback.ts
    import type { APIRoute } from "astro";
    export const POST: APIRoute = async ({ request }) => {
    const data = await request.formData();
    const name = data.get("name");
    const email = data.get("email");
    const message = data.get("message");
    // Validate the data - you'll probably want to do more than this
    if (!name || !email || !message) {
    return new Response(
    JSON.stringify({
    message: "Missing required fields",
    }),
    { status: 400 }
    );
    }
    // Do something with the data, then return a success response
    return new Response(
    JSON.stringify({
    message: "Success!"
    }),
    { status: 200 }
    );
    };
  3. Create a function that accepts a submit event, then pass it as a submit event handler to your form. In the function, call preventDefault on the event to override the browser’s default submission process.

    Then, create a FormData object and send it to your endpoint using fetch.

    src/components/FeedbackForm.tsx
    import { useState } from "preact/hooks";
    export default function Form() {
    const [responseMessage, setResponseMessage] = useState("");
    async function submit(e: SubmitEvent) {
    e.preventDefault();
    const formData = new FormData(e.target as HTMLFormElement);
    const response = await fetch("/api/feedback", {
    method: "POST",
    body: formData,
    });
    const data = await response.json();
    if (data.message) {
    setResponseMessage(data.message);
    }
    }
    return (
    <form onSubmit={submit}>
    <label>
    Name
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required />
    </label>
    <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required />
    </label>
    <label>
    Message
    <textarea id="message" name="message" required />
    </label>
    <button>Send</button>
    {responseMessage && <p>{responseMessage}</p>}
    </form>
    );
    }
