How do I POST to the AtomPub API?

[ru88s]

I would like sample code for POSTing to the AtomPub API.
I would like to do a blog post.

import { Handlers } from "$fresh/server.ts";

export default function Home() {
  return (
      <form method="post">
        <button>
          POST
        </button>
      </form>
  );
}

export const handler: Handlers = {
  async POST(req, ctx) {
    console.log("POST");

    return new Response("", {
      status: 303,
      headers: {
        Location: "/",
      },
    });
  },
};

Here's how I handle POST data.

// some code up here
  async POST(req, ctx) {
    const db = deta.Base("kv");
    const body = (await req.formData()).get("data") as unknown as DetaBaseValue;
    const key = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 12);
    const _item = await db.put({
      ...body,
    }, key, {
      expireIn: 604800,
    });

    return ctx.render(
      new Response(JSON.stringify({
        key: key,
        success: true,
      }), {
        headers: {
          "content-type": "application/json",
          "status": "200",
        },
      }),
    );
  },
// some code down here

Still has some stuffs to fix tho, and it's still spewing errors but you do req.formData() to get the values from the form submission on POST.

Thank you very much.
I would like to post to a blog service that uses the AtomPub API, such as WordPress.
I don't need the code to get the form data, so if you could give me the simplest sample code, that would be great.

You can use fetch. And also, doesn't Wordpress have that REST API feature?

It worked!
Thank you very much.

To make outbound HTTP requests, use fetch.

I was able to do it.
Thanks for the link too.
