@djoerkie/routify v1.0.6

Features 🚀

• Routes are file and folder based
• Params are supported
• Routes can be nested

Installation 📦

The project requires a working node.js installation, if you do not have it installed please do this first.

npm install djoerkie@routify

Usage 📚

import { routify } from "@djoerkie/routify";
const routify_instance = new routify(3000); // 3000 is the port
routify_instance.init('./routes'); // './routes' is the folder where the routes are located

You can now make a folder called 'routes' and put files/folders inside it. The file/folder names will be used as the route.

export default function get(res: any, req: any) {
    res.json({ message: "Hello World!" });
}

You can rename the function 'get' to one of the following names:

• get
• post
• put
• delete
• patch
• options
• head

This example will make the route postable.

export default function post(res: any, req: any) {
    res.json({ message: "Hello World!" });
}

You can make a new folder and put routes inside it. The folder name will be used as the route prefix and the routes inside the folder will be accessible. For example:

• /api/hello will need a folder called api and a file called hello.ts/js

You can also use a '.' in the file name to make a subroute. For example:

• /api/hello/world will need a folder called api and a file called hello.world.ts/js

Parameters

You can add params to the route by surrounding the file name with 'param', for example userid will be hosted at localhost:port/userid and the param will be available in the request object.

export default function get(res: any, req: any) {
    res.json({ message: req.params.userid });
}

Adding modules

You can add middleware to the app by adding it in the options object while initializing the app.

import { routify } from "@djoerkie/routify";
const routify_instance = new routify(3000);
routify_instance.init('./routes', {
    middleware: [
        (req: any, res: any, next: any) => {
            console.log("Middleware 1");
            next();
        }
    ]
});

Or pass body-parser for example:

import { routify } from "@djoerkie/routify";
const routify_instance = new routify(3000);
routify_instance.init('./routes', {
    middleware: [
        bodyParser.json(),
        bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }),
    ]
});

Getting info

You can get the express app object by calling the getApp method.

import { routify } from "@djoerkie/routify";
const routify_instance = new routify(3000);
routify_instance.init('./routes');
const app = routify_instance.getApp();

You can get the routes object by calling the getRoutes method.

import { routify } from "@djoerkie/routify";
const routify_instance = new routify(3000);
routify_instance.init('./routes');
const routes = routify_instance.getRoutes();

You can get the port by calling the getPort method.

import { routify } from "@djoerkie/routify";
const routify_instance = new routify(3000);
routify_instance.init('./routes');
const port = routify_instance.getPort();
