I'm trying to create an Endpoint in Qwik that needs to access file system. I intend to use Node.js fs
for this purpose.
Here's what I wrote:
import fs from 'fs'
And I get this error:
(node:248) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
/Project/SiteQwik/Run.js:1
import fs from 'fs'
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47
And if I change it to const fs = require('fs')
I get this error:
require is not defined
So I'm stuck at this point. What should I do?
Here is a working example to create this endpoint http://xxx/api/config/
file to read: 'data/config.json'
{
"version": "1"
}
endpoint: 'src/routes/api/config/index.tsx'
import { type RequestHandler } from '@builder.io/qwik-city';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
export const onGet: RequestHandler = async ({ json }) => {
const path = './data/config.json';
const config = readFileSync(path, { encoding: 'utf-8' });
json(200, JSON.parse(config));
};
btw for a simple json you can serve it with the public directory
