HTTP

HTTP Vals let you expose an API or website from your val.

They are built on the web-standard Request and Response objects, so are compatible with a number of web frameworks like Hono and Peko.

These handlers need to export a function that takes a Request object as the first parameter and returns a Response object. The function can be asynchronous.

ExampleRun in Val Town ↗

export function handler(request: Request) {
  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}
