http-router-connect v1.0.0

http-router-connect

http-router-connect is an elegant and lightweight composable router written in Typescript that uses regexparam for request routing and supports connect-style middleware.

It has only one dependency: regexparam. See regexparam for routing documentation.

Why

http-connect-router was written to meet the needs of developers who want a familiar express.js and connect-middleware compatible API but don't want to adopt a server framework.

Key Features

• Supports composable/nested routers for easy code organisation.
• Supports the safe throwing of errors in asynchronous request handlers so no need for express-async-errors. Phew.
• Child routers, middleware, and request handlers are all executed in the order they are registered - there is no hierarchy to be aware of.
• Parameterized requests are supported (as well as powerful routing capabilities) with regexparam

Usage

See example

Limitation

Some express middleware solutions are typed to require an express handler signature (express' own Request and Response types). Some can be used by just // @ts-ignore ing the type incompatibility, others actually require express specific methods which need to be polyfilled on a case-by-case basis.
