Astro: only generate route in dev mode

[florian-lefebvre]

Hi there! I'm using keystatic to manage my content, but only locally. But when building the app, the /keystatic route is still accessible even if useless. So I'm wondering if there's a way to keep it in dev mode only.
I doubt it's doable right now but in the future, an idea could be to just ship an astro integration and manage it with vite inject route utilities

I haven't tried this, but wondering if you could use Astro.redirect to redirect to the homepage when import.meta.env.MODE is set to production?

// src/pages/keystatic/[...params].astro
---
import { Keystatic } from '../../../keystatic.page'

export const prerender = false

+ if (import.meta.env.MODE === 'production') return Astro.redirect('/')
---

<Keystatic client:only />

Disabling access to Keystatic in prod is definitely a valid idea — I have heard a few other request it (or simply worry about the concept of folks accessing admin routes in production).

I think it's worth documenting, may I submit a PR?

To the Astro integration guide? Yes please!

What about disabling it completely on production env?

[florian-lefebvre]

That was before the integration existed but I guess that should work now!

Cool, it looks like the docs need an update.
