@flashfix/express-base-class

Base controller class that allows you to easily attach route handlers that are automatically bound to the class instance. Each instance creates it's own router, which allows for better route composition/encapsulation.

Example:

1. Create a Controller

const BaseController = require('@flashfix/express-base-class');


class DefaultController extends BaseController {
  default(req, res) {
    // `this` is DefaultController instance - bound automatically
    res.status(404).send('Page doesn\'t exist');
  }
  attachRoutes() {
    this.get('*', this.default);
  }
}

module.exports = new DefaultController();

2. Attach a Controller to an Express app

const defaultController = require(`./controllers/default`); // Returns a controller instance.
defaultController.use(app); // Attaches router to the app
