FastFood

FastFood is a lightweight HTTP framework for Node.js.

It is designed to make creating HTTP servers easier while staying close to the native Node.js http module.

Features

• Lightweight
• Simple routing with get() and post()
• Simple response helpers
• URL query parsing with req.query
• Form body parsing with req.bodyParams
• Built on the native Node.js http module
• Easy to learn and use

Installation

npm install @shisakankoy/fast-food

Example

import { FastFood } from "@shisakankoy/fast-food";

const app = new FastFood();

app.listen(3000, "0.0.0.0", () => {
    console.log("Server started");
});

// GET
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.header(200, {
        "Content-Type": "text/plain"
    });

    res.print("Hello, FastFood!");
    res.end();
});

// POST
app.post("/data", (req, res) => {
    req.at("in");

    const number = req.query.get("number");

    req.at("end", () => {
        const message = req.bodyParams.get("msg");

        console.log("Received:", req.body);
        console.log("Message:", message);
        console.log("Number:", number);

        res.header(200, {
            "Content-Type": "text/plain"
        });

        res.print("Data received.");
        res.end();
    });
});

Syntax

Start the server

app.listen(port, host, handler);

Register a GET route

app.get(path, (req, res) => {});

Register a POST route

app.post(path, (req, res) => {});

Set response headers

res.header(statusCode, headers);

• Equivalent to res.writeHead().

Write a response

res.print(text);

• Equivalent to res.write().

Receive POST data

req.at("in");

• A shorthand for req.on("data").

req.at("end", handler);

• A shorthand for req.on("end").

Read URL query parameters

req.query

• A URLSearchParams object created from the URL query string.

Example:

const id = req.query.get("id");

Read form body parameters

req.bodyParams

• A URLSearchParams object created from the request body.
• Available only inside req.at("end").

Example:

const message = req.bodyParams.get("msg");

Notes

• Call listen() before registering routes with get() or post().
• The listen() method requires a host name (for example, "0.0.0.0" or "127.0.0.1").
• req.bodyParams is available only inside req.at("end").
