Wscore NPM | npm.io

wscore - WebServe core utility modules

WSCore contains a set of modules acting as an abstraction layer between Node.js and WebServe. WSCore provides utility functions for the major task WebServe has to accomplish and can be used for other purposes too. Just install the module and require your wanted features, for example:

const colors = require('wscore/colors');
const logger = require('wscore/logger');

logger.log(colors.green('Works as expected!'));

Module Descriptions

All modules can be imported using the wscore prefix followed by a forward slash and the module name, e.g

const colors = require('wscore/colors');

Colors

A simple wrapper for using ansi color codes to color your console output.

Config

A minimal module for loading and managing json configuration files.

Crypto

A wrapper for the Node.js crypto module exposing functions for random strings, timing-safe comparison, hash generation, etc.

DateTime

Simple date-/time-string formatting using default Date objects.

Error

A custom Error module derived from the default JavaScript Error object. Used for collecting more hardware and software information in case of a system fault.

HTTP

A set of modules wrapping the default Node.js http server API. Support for http2 streaming will be added in the future, too.

Request & Response

The http request module (http/request) offers a wrapper for the default http1.1/tls (http2 support will be added in the future) request objects containing functionality for accessing and working with http headers, the request body content and other request data.

The http response module (http/response) offers functionality to send data, either in a dynamic way or simply static from the file system, back to the client requesting a resource.

Router

The Router module (http/router) is a standalone pattern-matching request router that can be used with the default Node.js http server. Providing parameter parsing, custom regex routing and more, the router is a minimal but effective solution for routing http requests.

Proxy

The proxy module offers a built-in reverse proxy to pipe incoming requests to an internal or external target server and pipe the proxy response into the default server response. It also allows to override headers and accepts the default Node.js ClientRequest options.
