express-fw-next v0.0.10

express-fw

Usage

yarn add express-fw

import { createApp } from "express-fw"

export default createApp()

Boot

Usage express.config.json

{
  "boot": ["my-boot"]
}

and create file boot in src/<name boot>

src/my-boot.ts:

import { boot } from "express-fw"

export default boot(() => {
  return (err, req, res, next) => {
    console.log("listened request on " + req.url)
    next()
  }
})

Router & Middleware

And now in the routes directory let's create your routes. express-import-routes will import all of them for you

project
└───routes
│   │   index.js
│   │
│   └───user
│       │   _id
│           └─── index.js
│  
└───app.js
└───package.json
└───yarn.lock

equivalent to

const express = require("express")
const app = express()

app.route("/", require("./routes/index.js"))
app.route("/user/:id", require("./routes/_id/index.,js"))

app.listen(8080, err => {
  if ( err ) {
    console.error(err)
  } else {
    console.log("App it runing on port 8080.")
  }
})

The file naming rules for configuring routers are the same as nuxtjs. Please refer here Nuxt router system

Route file writing rules

The route file in /routes requires you to export some function to render the route

index.js

exports.get = (req, res) => {
  req.end(`Hello!. This is a route /`)
}

You can exports. get | post | put | delete | options according to the method you want to listen to

The above example is equivalent to

const router = require("express").Router()

router.route("/").get((req, res) => {
  req.end(`Hello!. This is a route /`)
})

module.exports = router

If you use an additional plugin eg multer you only need to exports an array

const upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })

exports.post = [upload.single('avatar'), function (req, res) {
  // req.file is the `avatar` file
  // req.body will hold the text fields, if there were any
}]

Middleware

Add stronger support with middleware.

You can now export the middleware to tell the plugin that you want it to apply the middleware to this route.

exports.middleware = ["auth"]

exports.get = (req, res) => {
  req.end(`Welcome back ${req.user.name}!`)
}

middleware/auth.js

module.exports = (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    if ( req.headers.authorization ) {
      req.user = jwt.verify(req.headers.authorization, SERKET_KEY)
      next()
    } else {
      throw new Error("NO_TOKEN")
    }
  } catch(err) {
    console.log( err )
    next("route")
  }
}

Specify local middleware

You can now specify each middleware for each router.

const upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })

exports.post = [upload.single('avatar'), function (req, res) {
  // req.file is the `avatar` file
  // req.body will hold the text fields, if there were any
}]

or

exports.middleware = {
  post: upload.single('avatar'),
}

exports.post = function (req, res) {
  // req.file is the `avatar` file
  // req.body will hold the text fields, if there were any
}

Register

I added 2 methods for you to register the plugin to know this is a custom method. it can also combine with other modules like multer.

app.js

const express = require("express")
const multer = require("multer")
const importRoutes = require("express-import-routes")
const { registerMiddleware } = importRoutes

const app = express()

const upload = multer({ dest: "uploads/" })

registerMiddleware("file-avatar", upload.single("avatar"))

app.use(importRoutes())

app.listen(8080, err => {
  if ( err ) {
    console.error(err)
  } else {
    console.log("App it runing on port 8080.")
  }
})

Typescript

import { exposeRouter } from "express-import-routes"

export default exposeRouter({
  middleware: {
    post: upload.single('avatar'),
  },
  post (req, res) {
    // req.file is the `avatar` file
    // req.body will hold the text fields, if there were any
  }
})
