API Framework for Azure Functions

az-func-api is a lightweight and flexible API framework designed to simplify the development of serverless applications in Azure Functions. It provides an easy-to-use routing system, middleware support, and hooks for pre- and post-processing requests.

Features

• Simple routing for endpoints
• Middleware support with pre- and post-hook processing
• Create fully featured APIs in an Azure Function
• Typescript support for safety

Installation

You can install az-func-api via npm:

npm install az-func-api

Usage

Hello World Example

import AzFuncApi, { IRouter, IApiRequest } from 'az-func-api';

const azApi = new AzFuncApi();

// GET /api/v1/get/endpoint
azApi.route('/api/v1', (router: IRouter) => {
   router.get('/get/endpoint', (req: IApiRequest) => {
      return { body: { message: 'Hello, World!' } };
   });
});

azApi.buildRoutes();

Example with Pre & Post Hooks

const azApi = new AzFuncApi();

// POST /top-route/sub-route/post/echo
azApi
   .route('/top-route', (router: IRouter) => {
      router
         .route('/sub-route', (router: IRouter) => {
            router
               .post('/post/echo', (req: IApiRequest) => {
                  return { status: 200, body: { id: req.body } };
               })
               .addPreHook(log('1').preroute)
               .addPostHook(log('1').postroute);
         })
         .addPreHook(log('2').preroute)
         .addPostHook(log('2').postroute);
   })
   .addPreHook(log('3').preroute)
   .addPostHook(log('3').postroute);

azApi.buildRoutes();

const log = (msg: string) => {
   const preroute = (req: IApiRequest) => {
      console.log('PRE-HOOK: ' + msg);
      // Returning null allows the request to proceed to the endpoint
      // Or return an IApiResponse to protect the route/endpoint
      // PreRouteHooks can be useful for json validation or authorization
      return null;
   };

   const postroute = (req: IApiRequest, res: IApiResponse) => {
      // Modify the response post endpoint or post route.
      // PostRouteHooks an be useful for creating route defined CORS
      // policies or sanitizing responses before being sent to callers.
      console.log('POST-HOOK: ' + msg);
   };

   return { preroute, postroute };
};

// PRE-HOOK: 1
// PRE-HOOK: 2
// PRE-HOOK: 3
//  --POST-ENDPOINT--
// POST-HOOK: 1
// POST-HOOK: 2
// POST-HOOK: 3
