@martinjackson/simple-express NPM

Latest update

removed several of the weak SSL encryptions that were included a default in NodeJS (see sslOptions.js for the new shorter list).

How to Use:

server.js

import { serve } from '@martinjackson/simple-express'

import apiRoutes from './apiRoutes.js'

const run = async () => {
    console.log('\n-------------------------------------------------------');
    serve(apiRoutes, './.env')

    // run with --help for all the options
}

run()

apiRoutes.js

let fs = require('fs');
let express = require('express');

const makeRouter = (argv) => {
    let router = express.Router();

    router.get('/api/example/:n', function (req, res) {
        console.log(`GET: /api/example/ ${req.params.n}`);

        try {
          const example = { "name": 'Bob', "Address": '1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA 95014' }
          res.json(example)
        } catch (err) {
          res.status(500).send("Error:"+err);
          console.error(err)
        }
      })

    return router
}

module.exports = makeRouter;
