koa-spife v0.1.1

koa-spife

Bastardize a @npm/spife-based application into Koa.

Important note

This module was written as a helper for transitioning from @npm/spife to Koa. As such, it tries to do its best, but with the differences between the frameworks, no promises can be made as to full compatibility.

Another caveat: this isn't really a wrapper for spife, as much as it's a wrapper for reverse. Why call it koa-spife, then? reverse is non-prescriptive when it comes to the signature of the route method - that's where spife comes in. It likes its functions' signatures to look like this: function (SpifeRequest, Map) -> Promise<Result>. koa-spife continues employing this signature to maintain compatibility, except SpifeRequest is actually a koa.Request.

Wicked, right? Until I fix it, that is.

Usage

Take the following spife constructor call:

spife('pos-backend', http.createServer(), urls(), [
  require('@npm/spife/middleware/common')(),
  require('@npm/spife/middleware/body-json')(),
])

We can migrate this to Koa:

const app = new Koa()
app.use(require('koa-bodyparser')())
app.use(require('koa-spife')(urls()))

Why?

Something about holes in feet. Or me being bored on vacation. Or reverse being, in my opinion, one of the most elegant routers out there.
