express-handle v0.0.3

Express handle

This is a Node.js package that automatically loads routes in an Express app from files in a specified folder. It also allows for customization of middleware and parameters for the loaded routes.

Installation

npm install express-handle

Usage

const express = require('express');
const { handler } = require('express-handle');

const app = express();

const options = {
folder: './routes',
middlewares: [ /* array of middleware functions */ ],
params: { "param1": "value1", "param2": "value2" },
notfound: (req, res) => { /* custom 404 handler function */ },
tree: true // display route table
};

handler(app, options);

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('App is listening on port 3000'));

Route File Example

Here is an example of a route file that can be loaded:

module.exports = {
name: '/hello',
method: 'GET',
description: 'Returns a hello message',
disabled: false,
run: (req, res) => {
   res.send('Hello World!');
  }
}

Explanation:

Suppose we have a route file routes/hello.js as shown above. When we run the Express app with the auto loader and navigate to http://localhost:3000/hello, we will see the message "Hello World!" displayed in the browser.

Additionally, if the tree option is set to true, a table showing all loaded routes will be displayed in the console when the app is started.

Commands
┌────────┬──────────────────────┬────────┬─────────┐
│ Name │ Description │ Method │ Disabled│
├────────┼──────────────────────┼────────┼─────────┤
│ /hello │ Returns a hello message │ GET │ false │
└────────┴──────────────────────┴────────┴─────────┘

Note: To use the params option to pass parameters to the route file's run function, make sure to pass a stringified JSON object as the value of the option.
