Topics: api · apiblocks · composition · express · mern-packages · merndev · middleware · nodejs · npm-pm · observability · rest · typescript

Smart API composition — plug pagination, search, and your own blocks into Express as one ordered middleware chain plus optional setup hooks.

Install

npm install @mr-aftab-ahmad-khan/apiblocks express

Example

Register blocks before router.get / post so composed middleware runs first.

import express from "express";
import { applyApiBlocks, paginationBlock, searchBlock, getPagination, getSearchRegex } from "@mr-aftab-ahmad-khan/apiblocks";

const app = express();
const api = express.Router();
applyApiBlocks(api, [paginationBlock(), searchBlock(["title", "body"])]);
api.get("/posts", (req, res) => {
  const p = getPagination(req);
  const rx = getSearchRegex(req);
  res.json({ p, hasSearch: !!rx });
});
app.use("/v1", api);
