z-http-router

This is a router to use with z-http-server. There is also an improved error handler as I didn't see a reason to create a new module for it.

To get started:

npm install --save z-http-router

or

yarn add z-http-router

Then:

const zServer = require('z-http-server')
const zRouter = require('z-http-router')

const server = new zServer.Server( { port: 3004 } )
const router = new zRouter.Router()
server.routeHandler = router.handler

router.get( '/', async ctx => {
  ctx.send('Hello')
  return ctx
} )

router.get( '/hi', async ctx => { ctx.send('hi'); return ctx })

server.start()

Adding routes

There are three types of routes you can add:

• get
• post
• all

These are all added using the respective function.

Example:

router.get(path, middlewareFunction)

Or

router.use(method, path, middlewareFunction)

Error handler

To set an error message:

router.errors['statusCode'] = 'This is an error message'

The error object that is thrown must have the message set as the status code e.g. throw new Error( '404' ).

static

A static directory can be set to serve static files such as images, stylesheets, etc.

To set a static directory do the following:

router.static('path/to/static/folder', '/path/to/access')

To reference a file in that folder, use:

/path/to/access/filename.file
