This module provides a routing API for JSON:API frontends, ensuring that aliases, redirects, and language configurations are correctly resolved. It allows your frontend to reliably fetch the correct JSON:API URL for content.
Route resolution for Drupal JSON:API frontends
jsonapi_frontend adds a reliable “path → resource” router API for headless and hybrid sites. It resolves aliases, redirects, Views pages, language, and access checks so your frontend can fetch the right JSON:API URL every time.
Quick start
composer require drupal/jsonapi_frontend drush en jsonapi_frontend
Configure at: /admin/config/services/jsonapi-frontend
Resolve paths
GET /jsonapi/resolve?path=/about-us&_format=jsonNote: The resolver runs Drupal access checks; restricted/unpublished content resolves as “not found”.
