basic-http-server

Basic HTTP server library for Node.js focused on creating simple REST services or Web-apps with minimal dependencies.

Project Objectives

• Simplify the creating of a HTTP server for static files and web services
• Have minimal project dependencies

Classes

• BasicHTTPServer - Main server class
• BaseRoute - Base class for routes, expects extending class to implement handleRequest (request, response)
• NullRoute - Route that always returns 404. This can be used as the default handler when only sub-routes are required.
• JSONRoute - Simple route which handles JSON parsing of the message body object. Expects extending classes to implement respond (request, response, data)

const BasicHTTPServer = require("basic-http-server");

const fileHandler = new BasicHTTPServer.StaticFileServer("/", "./", "index.html");
const httpServer = new BasicHTTPServer({port: 8080});
httpServer.registerDefaultHandler(fileHandler);
httpServer.start();
