Trouble setting up Express routes within Netlify function

Support
1

I’m trying to use a Netlify function with Express to setup a few routes that perform different tasks. I have a frontend preact app in the same project.

I could probably accomplish what I need just using separate netlify functions, but I’d much prefer to use Express for this project.

Here’s my function called my-hook.js

import express, { Router } from "express";
import serverless from "serverless-http";

const api = express();

const router = Router();
router.get("/test", (req, res) => res.send(JSON.stringify({ message: "Test finally works!" })));

api.use("/api/", router);

export const handler = serverless(api);

Here’s the toml file

[build]
  base = "frontend"
  command = "npm run build"
  publish = "/build"

[functions]
  directory = "functions"

[[redirects]]
  from = "/api/*"
  to = "/.netlify/functions/:splat"
  status = 200

This is a simplified version of the code I used for testing. When I try to reach this endpoint using postman, I get this error:

https://spraywell-suite.netlify.app/api/test

Cannot GET /api/test

I’ve tried many different variations of the URL and routing all to no avail.

However, I have a test route that doesn’t use Express which I can reach no problem.

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I updated the URL. However… I just realized my coworker updated the code in the repo trying to get this to work (still to no avail).

I may need to create a public repo for this and repost this question. My apologies. However, if you see anything obviously wrong it would be appreciated. We just can’t seem to reach these simple endpoints…
