Managing Bridges

A bridge is a connector that connects frontend pages and backend data. When you develop a frontend page, you may need to retrieve backend data such as user IDs, order IDs, and information of products in the shopping cart. In this case, you can use a bridge, which calls backend APIs to obtain data from the backend. Bridges can also obtain custom static data.

In the Huawei Cloud Astro Zero environment configuration page, you can manage bridges under the account in the current environment.
