Installation

Restt is available through the npm registry:

$ npm install restt

Restt-CLI is highly recommended alongside Restt and is also available through the npm registry:

$ npm install -g restt-cli

Usage

Creating a simple hello world service with Restt is as easy as the following:

helloworld-service.js

// Import the required classes from Restt
import { Restt, Service, Resource, Response } from 'restt';
 
// Create a hello world service
const helloworld = new Service({
 
  // Define the origin of the service
  origin: 'https://yourdomain.io',
  
  // Define the list of resources
  resources: [
    
    // Bind a resource to the service
    new Resource({
 
      // Define the endpoint (https://yourdomain.io/helloworld)
      endpoint: '/helloworld',
 
      // Define the resource protocol
      method: 'GET',
      
      // Define the response of the resource
      response() {
 
        // Create a response to send to the client
        return new Response({
 
          // Define the body of the response
          body: {
            message: 'hello world!'
          }
        });
      }
    })
  ]
});
 
// Create the Restt application
const app = new Restt();
 
// Bind the service to the application
app.use(helloworld);

If you're using Restt-CLI (and you're all configured) you can now deploy your services locally:

$ restt serve helloworld-service.js

Once served with Restt-CLI you can test your service - let's connect to our resource using curl:

$ curl http://localhost:3000/yourdomain.io/helloworld

If everything is working correctly then curl should output the following:

{
  "message": "helloworld!"
}

Now you're ready to deploy for production with Restt-CLI:

$ restt deploy helloworld-service.js

Congratulations - you've succesfully built and shipped your services to the edge using Cloudflare Workers with Restt!

You can check a more detailed overview of the above in the hello world example repository.
