Getting Started

Here's a simple example to get you started:

const { Lork } = require('lork');

const app = new Lork();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.fields); // your body fields are stored here.
  console.log(req.files); // your files are stored here.
  res.send('Hello, world!');
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on http://localhost:3000');
});

Middleware

Session Middleware

To use session management:

const { session } = require('lork');

app.use(session({
  cookie: {
    key: 'connect.sid',
    secretKey: 'your-secret-key',
    maxAge: 3600000, // 1 hour
  },
  store: /* your store options here */
}));

Authentication middleware

const { LocalAuth } = require("lork");
const User = require("path/to/your/user/model");

const auth = LocalAuth({User: User});
app.post("/login", auth.authenticate(), (req, res) => {
  if(req.session.userId){
    res.json({msg: "successfully authenticated"});
  }else{
    res.status(400).json({msg: "bad request"});
  }
});

Response Methods

Lork provides several methods for response handling:

• res.send(data): Send plain text response.
• res.json(data): Send JSON response.
• res.render(fileName): Render an HTML file from the views directory.
• res.status(statusCode): Set response status code.
