Configure for specific HTTP methods

With in-source configuration, you can restrict Edge Functions to respond to certain HTTP methods.

In this example, we set up an Edge Function to execute for a PUT or POST request.

import type { Config, Context } from "@netlify/edge-functions";

export default async (request: Request, context: Context) => {
  return new Response(`This is a response to a ${request.method}`)
};

export const config: Config = {
  method: ["POST", "PUT"]
}

See this in action

Since the Edge Function is configured to respond to PUT and POST, accessing the Edge Function through a browser will result in a 404.

To validate that the Edge Function works, you can use cURL in your terminal:


  curl -X POST https://edge-functions-examples.netlify.app/example/method
  curl -X PUT https://edge-functions-examples.netlify.app/example/method

The Edge Function code: method.ts

What are Edge Functions?

Using JavaScript and TypeScript, Netlify Edge Functions give you the power to modify network requests to localize content, serve relevant ads, authenticate visitors, A/B test content, and much more!

This all happens at the Edge — directly from the worldwide location closest to each user.

To use Edge Functions on Netlify, add JavaScript or TypeScript files to a /netlify/edge-functions directory in your project.
