Express-eventify NPM

express-eventify

Converts an express app instance into an object which can subscribe to REST requests like events.

Installation

# Install via NPM
npm install express-eventify
# OR
# Install via Yarn
yarn add express-eventify

Usage

express-eventify extends an express app by introducing the $on function.

Initialize

const express = require('express');
const eventify = require('express-eventify');

// create a new express app
let app = express();
// initialize the new express app
app = eventify(app);

There are two ways of subscribing to express with express-eventify

// notice the '!' - it seperates the REST method and the path i.e. "{method}!{path}"
// in this case it's 'get' and '/'
app.$on("get!/", (req, res) => res.send("Using express-eventify"));

The second way discribes shows how the $on function consumes an object as a parameter.

app.$on({
    get: {
        "/": function(req, res) {
            // all parameters passed to a normal express method 
            // are also sent to this callback (request, response, next, etc..)
        }
    },
    post: {
        // post routes
    }
});
