Access to a astro.renderToString method?

[reggi]

I've dug into the code but I couldn't find any mention / Astro api that would allow me to pass in a .astro file and spit out HTML. Something like react.renderToString. Does this exist?

Not sure if this would live within the Astro global, or just within the package something like:

import astro from 'astro'
import Example from './example.astro'

astro.renderToString(Example, { prop: true })

or

import astro from 'astro'
astro.renderToString('./example.astro', { prop: true })

[reggi]

For context on why I'm trying to do this. I'd like to be able to have an API endpoint that returns an astro component HTML. That's pretty much it. I think it would be cool.

Recently used the Astro compiler which might be similar to what you're looking for, though it's still a bit internal-ish to use AFAIA.

Anyways, the issues here are usually for bug reports. For feature requests, please open at https://github.com/withastro/rfcs/discussions! You might get better awareness there.
