A minimal Express-style router with response handling convenience methods.

Features

• Convenience methods .send() and .sendFile handle responses in JSON and HTML
• Includes full testing suite
• Supports request methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE

Installation and Usage

npm install --save veloci-router

var Router = require('veloci-router');
var app = new Router();

app.get('/your/path', (request, response) => {
  // Your handler code here
});

app.patch('/your/path/resource', (request, response) => {
  // Your handler code here
});

// Starts the HTTP server and listening to port 8080
app.listen([8080]); 

Convience Methods

response.send(data)

Combines res.write(), res.end(), and res.writeHead() to fit the data type being sent. The argument data can be a string or a JSON Object.

app.get('/', (request, response) => {
  response.send('This is the index page!');
});

response.sendFile(path)

Uses a readStream to pass a file to the response object. Automatically adjusts header types accordingly (e.g. raptors.json, index.html, README.md) Argument path must be absolute.

app.get('/dogs', (request, response) => {
  response.sendFile('./test-data/dogs.json');
});

Testing

To start the test suite, install dependencies and then run npm test.
