@johno/router v0.0.3

router

A miniaturized (and fast af) router for the edge, and everywhere else.

import { Router, text, json } from "@johno/router";

const router = new Router();

router
  .get("/", (req) => text("Hello world!"))
  .get("/hello/:name", (req, env, ctx, routeInfo) => {
    json({ name: routeInfo.params.name });
  });

router.handle(request, env, ctx);

Features

• Simple, declarative API
• Built for the edge
• Standards-based (Request/Response/URL)
• Zero dependencies
• Tiny footprint
• ESM-only
• Written in TypeScript

Motivation

@johno/router is built for edge environments including Cloudflare Workers, Lambda, Netlify Functions, Next.js, etc. What makes @johno/router interesting is what it doesn't do.

@johno/router does not:

• Monkey patch the global Request and Response objects
• Route match with regex, it uses a custom parser
• Implement a bespoke handler API
• Use middleware, we recommend using lib functions
• Minify or obfuscate code (readable and debuggable output)

Handler API

@johno/router uses a simple handler API that is compatible with the Request and Response objects. It augments edge function handlers with an additional argument, routeInfo. This means you can drop in @johno/router to any serverless function environment and you will work with their existing APIs.

Installation

Use your favorite package manager to install @johno/router:

npm install @johno/router

# pnpm add @johno/router
# yarn add @johno/router
# bun add @johno/router

Usage

If you've used a router before, @johno/router will feel familiar. To define a set of routes you:

• Instantiate a router
• Add routes for given paths and HTTP methods
• Pass each route a handler function
• Call handle with the request and its environment

import { Router, text } from "@johno/router";

const router = new Router();

router.get("/", (req, res) => {
  text("Hello world!");
});

router.get("/hello/:name", (req, res, routeInfo) => {
  text(`Hello ${routeInfo.params.name}!`);
});

router.handle(request, env, ctx);

Using with Cloudflare Workers

@johno/router is designed to work seamlessly with Cloudflare Workers. The handle method accepts the Request, Env, and Context objects which you can leverage in your handlers.

import { Router, text, json } from "@johno/router";

const router = new Router();

export default {
  async fetch(
    request: Request,
    env: Env,
    ctx: ExecutionContext
  ): Promise<Response> {
    return router
      .post("/hello", () => text("Hello world!"))
      .post("/world", () => json({ hello: "world" }))
      .handle(request, env, ctx);
  },
};
