url_for function or other way for generating urls from routes?

[dlebech]

Is there a way to generate urls based on "known routes" in the app, e.g. with a function similar to Flask's and Rails' url_for?

For example, here is the problem I'm trying to solve

• I have a routes/api/todo/+server.ts route
• I'm using this from some +page.svelte page, like fetch('/api/todo', /* more params */)
• Someone comes along and renames the server url to routes/api/todos/+server.ts
• Now the front-end breaks, because the url no longer exists.

If I could instead do fetch(urlFor('api/todo')), then rename errors would be caught during a build for production, since it wouldn't match a known route in Sveltekit.

As a bonus, it would be slightly easier to construct urls like /api/todo/[id] e.g. like urlFor('/api/todo', { id: 1234 }), and perhaps this could even be typesafe (if using TypeScript)

Thank you.

This seems to be partially solved with resolve, although it currently does not result in build errors if a path is wrong.
