Programatically register handlers (instead of file based routing)?

[francisashley]

Hello, in the docs I can see it's possible to register handler functions directly in devHandlers https://nitro.unjs.io/config#devhandlers, however the feature is disabled in production ??. This feature is useful when the API file cannot return defineEventHandler as the default export.

Is there another way of registering handlers directly or perhaps this can be enabled in production on a future release?

Take a look at this option: https://nitro.unjs.io/config#handlers

Hi Anantha, I'm aware of this option.

The problem with the option is that it only supports passing a path to a file containing the handler (file based routing).

Here I am looking to register the raw function directly in the same way devHandlers behaves, e.g.

✅
'nitro:config'(nitroConfig) {
  registry.apps.forEach((app) => {
    nitroConfig.handlers?.push({
      method: 'get',
      route: 'api/some/endpoint',
      handler: defineEventHandler(event => { <------- like this
            // something
      })
    })
  })
}

❌
'nitro:config'(nitroConfig) {
  registry.apps.forEach((app) => {
    nitroConfig.handlers?.push({
      method: 'get',
      route: 'api/some/endpoint',
      handler: 'path/to/handler/file' <------- not like this
    })
  })
}
