cheeky-http v1.0.1

Cheeky HTTP

A simple, performant Node HTTP server.

Getting started

const Server = require('cheeky-http')
new Server({'/': () => 'hello world'})

Features

Route parameters

cheeky-http supports Express-style route parameters.

const Server = require('cheeky-http')
new Server({'/name': req => req.params.name})

Automatically parse/serialise JSON in request/response

The request payload is automtically parsed when the content header is JSON. When a handler returns an object, it is automatically serialised.

const Server = require('cheeky-http')
new Server({'/': req => req.body})

Handle asynchronous handlers

If a handler returns a promise, cheeky-http will resolve it before responding.

const Server = require('cheeky-http')
new Server({'/': () => Promise.resolve('response')})

Middleware

Route middleware can be added to the options object when creating a new server. Unlike other Node HTTP frameworks, all middlewares are evaluated at once. The connection will be terminated if a single middleware rejects its promise.

const Server = require('cheeky-http')

const authMiddleware = (request, response) =>
  new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (!request.headers['token'] === 'fake-token') {
      response.statusCode = 401
      reject()
    } else {
      resolve()
    }
  })

new Server({'/': () => 'hello world'}, {middlewares: [authMiddleware]})
