Zapi

Create an API/Server without having to create the actual server yourself, all you have to worry about is the routes.

Install

npm i --save z-api

Usage

const Zapi = require('z-api'),
  api = new Zapi()

Add route

const route = {
  method: 'GET', //Default is GET if not specified, Must be in caps
  path: '/', //Default is '/' if not specified,
  handler: (req, res) => {
    /*
    req and res are the standard http objects
    A good guide on how to use them here
    https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/anatomy-of-an-http-transaction/
    */
    res.end('The api works)
  }
}
 
api.addRoute(route)

Remove route

api.removeRoute('GET', '/') //Method and path

Options

Options can be passed set when initialising the class, or they can be set later on.

On initialisation

api = new Zapi({
  port: 80
})

After initialisation

api.config.port = 80

Used options

The following are config options that are currently used, more may be added in the future.

port

The port to run the server on, the default is 3002.

port: 3002

defaultRoute

The default route options to use if that option is not specified. The default method is GET. The default path is '/'. The default handler sends a response saying 'Default route'.

defaultRoute: {
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/',
  handler: (req, res) => {
    res.send('Default route')
  }
}

Middleware

Middleware is run in parallel for the best performance. To add middleware use the addMiddleware function.

api.addMiddleware((req, res, next) => {
  console.dir(req)
  next()
})
