exprexx v1.0.0

Exprex

Exprex is a small set of functions built on express meant for centralising routes & controllers, install by entering:

npm install exprex

How to use

Routes & Controllers

Routes & controllers are all in one JS object e.g:

    const routeState = {
        get: {
            '/': {
                method: (req, res) => {
                    return res.send('This is a test controller for the / route.')
                }),
                middleware: [
                    (req, res, next) => {
                        console.log('Hi! I am a test middleware.');
                        next()
                    }
                ]
            },
        },
    }

The middleware key should contain an array of functions which is the same as inserting middleware in an 'app.get()' for example.

Middleware

Middleware in exprex is in another object e.g:

const middlewareState = {
    use: [
        (req, res, next) => {console.log('testUse');next()},
    ],
    set: [
        ['view engine', 'ejs']
    ],
    engine: [
        ['html', 'haml']
    ]
}

The 'use' key will put the middleware into an 'app.use' function.

The 'set' key will put the middleware into an 'app.set' function.

The 'engine' key will put the middleware into an 'app.engine' function

How to use

const exprex = require('exprex');

const GetIndex = (req, res) => {
    return res.send('Index');
}

const PostIndex = (req, res) => {
    return res.send('PostIndex');
}

const PutIndex = (req, res) => {
    return res.send('PutIndex');
}

const DeleteIndex = (req, res) => {
    return res.send('DeleteIndex')
}

const routeState = {
    get: {
        '/': {
            method: GetIndex,
            middleware: []
        },
    },
    post: {
        '/': {
            method: PostIndex,
            middleware: []
        }
    },
    put: {
        '/': {
            method: PutIndex,
            middleware: []
        }
    },
    delete: {
        '/': {
            method: DeleteIndex,
            middleware: []
        }
    },
}

const middlewareState = {
    use: [
        (req, res, next) => {console.log('testUse');next()},
    ],
    set: [
        ['view engine', 'ejs']
    ],
    engine: [
        ['html', 'haml']
    ]
}

exprex(routeState, middlewareState)
