Simple Api Framework

This is a simple framework that can be used to develop apis or web applications with node.js

Building

To build first clone this repository and then run npm install in the directory Then run npm run build To test run npm run test or npm run buildAndRun this will run /dist/examples/runExamples.js

Installing

To install run npm i spider-server.js

Using

To use the api framework first install it via npm. First you must import the framework and create an instance of it.

const Api = require('api');

const api = new Api();

To add an endpoint you need to create and endpoint object and add that to end api instance

Endpoints using javascript object literals

const HelloWorldEndpoint = {
    name: '/helloWorld',
    parameters: ['none'],
    permissionLevel: 0,
    returns: 'Hello World',
    method: HTTPMethods.GET,
    run: (req, res) => {
        return {response:'Hello World!'}
    };
}

api.addEndpoint(HelloWorldEndpoint);

Endpoints using typescript class implements

class HelloWorldExample implements Endpoint {
    name = '/helloWorld';
    parameters = ['none'];
    permissionLevel = 0;
    returns = 'Hello World!';
    method = HTTPMethods.GET;
    run = (req, res) => {
        return {response:'Hello World!'}
    };
}

api.addEndpoint(new HelloWorldExample());
