Hi @Neo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your question about using Apollo in Nuxt server API files. While Nuxt 3 doesn't have built-in Apollo integration, you can still use Apollo on the server-side, including in your signup.post.ts file. However, the recommended approach in Nuxt 3 is to use the built-in $fetch or useFetch utilities for making API requests. For server-side API routes in Nuxt 3, the recommended way is to use the defineEventHandler function. Here's an example of how you might structure a signup.post.ts file using Nuxt's built-in utilities:

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Get the request body
  const body = await readBody(event)
  
  // Make an API call using $fetch
  const response = await $fetch('<https://your-graphql-endpoint',> {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
      query: 'YOUR_GRAPHQL_MUTATION',
      variables: body
    }),
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
  })

  // Return the response
  return response
})

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Get the request body
  const body = await readBody(event)
  
  // Make an API call using $fetch
  const response = await $fetch('<https://your-graphql-endpoint',> {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
      query: 'YOUR_GRAPHQL_MUTATION',
      variables: body
    }),
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
  })

  // Return the response
  return response
})

This approach is documented in the Nuxt server routes guide (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/server#matching-http-method). If you specifically need to use Apollo, you would need to set it up manually in your server file. However, this is not the standard approach in Nuxt 3 and may require additional configuration. As for alternatives to fetch, Nuxt 3 provides several options: 1. $fetch: A globally available method for making HTTP requests Nuxt $fetch documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/utils/dollarfetch). 2. useFetch: A composable for making requests with automatic caching and state management Nuxt useFetch documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/composables/use-fetch). 3. useAsyncData: A more flexible composable that can be used with $fetch for custom data fetching logic Nuxt useAsyncData documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/composables/use-async-data). These built-in utilities are optimized for Nuxt's server-side rendering capabilities and are generally recommended over third-party solutions for most use cases. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
