Maitre

NodeJS Middleware Server

Synopsis

maitre [ --port=<PORT_NUMBER> ]

Description

Maitre serves an HTTP request by importing a service (as ECMAScript Module) from the following path:

process .cwd () + request .url .pathname + request .method + '.js'

To control how the HTTP response is written, export the following from the Service module:

statusCode

A 3-digit number representing the status code of the response.

Example

export const statusCode = 200;

statusMessage

A string representing the status message of the response.

Example

export const statusMessage = 'Connection Established';

headers

An object (dictionary) of name/value pairs, where each pair represents a header of the response.

Example

export const headers = {

  'content-type': 'text/plain',
  'connection': 'keep-alive',
  'host': 'example.com',
  'accept': '*/*'

};

encoding

A string representing the encoding of the response body.

Example

export const encoding = 'utf8';

body

A string or Buffer representing the response body.

Example

export const body = 'Hello World! This is Maitre!';

Or, for Dynamic Serving

Export a function as the default Export; returning an object containing the same properties described abov.

Example

export default request => ( {

  statusCode: 404,
  statusMessage: 'Not Found',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
  },
  encoding: 'utf8',
  body: `I don't have a way to serve you at this location ${ request .url }`

} );
