How to use somewhere else

Follow these steps, I don't care if there's a lot. Maybe I'll make a repo of this example, but I'm lazy :D 1. Create new directory 2. Run npm init and follow wizard Set node src/app.js as test command 3. Run npm install git+https://github.com/AL1L/AL-REST.git 4. Create these directorys src src/endpoints data 5. Create these files src/app.js src/endpoints/hello.js * data/server.json

src/app.js:

import { Server } from "al-rest";

const server = new Server('data/server.js');
server.em.loader.loadDirectory('src/endpoints')
server.start();

src/endpoints/hello.js:

import { Url } from "url";
import { Request, Endpoint } from "al-rest";

// The name of the class doesn't matter
export default class HelloEndpoint extends Endpoint { 

    constructor(em) {
        super(em);
        this.meta({
            name: 'Hello',
            desc: 'Hello, World!'
        });
    }

    canHandle(method, url) {
        return url.path === '/';
    }
    
    handle(request) {
        request.res.setMessage('Hello, world!');
    }
}

data/server.json:

{
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3000
}

6. Run npm run test
7. Yay!
