Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

## Installation ```bash npm i express-lite-router ``` ## Usage

Readme

express-lite-router

Installation

npm i express-lite-router

Usage

import {Router} from "express-lite-router";
import express, {Application} from "express";
import mariadb from "mariadb";

const router = Router({
    router: express.Router(),
    dir: 'src/backend',
    context: {
        pool: mariadb.createPool({
            host: 'mydb.com',
            user: 'myUser',
            password: 'myPassword',
            connectionLimit: 5
        })
    }
});

router.get('/', 'Home/HomeController@index');

const app: Application = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(router.express());
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Development server http://localhost:3000 started'));

Creating controller

Your controller must be extended from 'Controller'

import {Controller} from "express-lite-router";
import Model from "@backend/Home/HomeModel";

export default class HomeController extends Controller {
    private model: Model;

    public async init() {
        this.model = await this.$create(Model, 1);
    }

    public async index() {
        try {
            return this.success({rows: await this.model.select()});
        } catch (e) {
            return this.error(e);
        }
    }
}

Creating Model

Your model must be extended from 'Model'

import {Model} from "express-lite-router";
import {Pool} from "mariadb";

export default class HomeModel extends Model {
    private id;

    public constructor(id: number) {
        super();

        this.id = id;
    }

    public async init() {
        console.log("Hello, I'm a webhook");
    }

    public async select() {
        return await this.pool.query(`SELECT ${this.id} as val`);
    }

    private get pool(): Pool {
        return this.$context.pool;
    }
}

Set 'lang' app

// OR http://localhost:3000/api?lang=ua
// OR { lang: 'ua' }

console.log(this.$lang); // 'ua'

Can use 'request'

console.log(this.request); // express Request

Can use 'response'

this.response; // express Response

Can use '$context'

const router = Router({
    context: {
        pool: mariadb.createPool({
            host: 'mydb.com',
            user: 'myUser',
            password: 'myPassword',
            connectionLimit: 5
        })
    }
});

console.log(this.$context); // { pool, request, response }

Can use '$lang'

console.log(this.$lang); // 'en'

Can use '$l(message)'

console.log(this.$l({"en":"Not found", "ua":"Не знайдено"})); // 'Not found'

Can use '$create(Class, ...params)'

this.model = await this.$create(Model, 1);

Can use 'success(data? = {}, status? = 200)'

try {
    return this.success(); // json
} catch (e) {
    
}

Can use 'error(e)'

try {
    
} catch (e) {
    return this.error(e); // json
}

Can use 'ApiError(message, status? = 400, code? = 0)'

try {
    throw new ApiError('Not found', 404);
} catch (e) {
    return this.error(e); // json
}
