[SOLVED] How can I access file system inside Qwik Endpoints?

How can I access file system inside Qwik Endpoints?

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 Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
    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?

Solution

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
