Co-router NPM | npm.io

co-router

Benefit from async/await or generators with express router.

Installation

$ npm install --save co-router

Usage

var Router = require('co-router');
var router = Router();

// Default Express.js route handler
router.get('/foo', function (req, res, next) {
    var rows = db.query('SELECT 1 + 1', function (err, rows) {
        if (err) {
            return next(err);
        }
        return res.send(rows);
    });
});

// Use an async function as route handler
router.get('/tom', async function (req, res, next) {
    var rows = await db.query('SELECT 1 + 1');
    // Uncaught error (reject) is handled with `next(err)`.
    return res.send(rows);
});

// Use a generator function as route handler
router.get('/bar', function* (req, res, next) {
    var rows = yield db.query('SELECT 1 + 1');
    // Uncaught error (reject) is handled with `next(err)`.
    return res.send(rows);
});

// Compatible with legacy route handler, helpful to reuse express middlewares
router.post('/baz', function (req, res, next) {
    if (req.session.authenticated) {
        return next();
    } else {
        return res.redirect(301, '/login.html');
    }
}, function* (req, res, next) {
    return res.send(yield Promise.resolve("Hello world"));
});

// Chaining routes
router.route('/baz')
    .get(function* (req, res, next) {
        // Do something...
    })
    .put(function* (req, res, next) {
        // Do something...
    });

// Generator in middleware
router.use(function* (req, res, next) {
    // Do something
});

// And error handler
router.use(function* (err, req, res, next) {
    // Handle error
});
