0http

0http

Cero friction HTTP framework:

• Tweaked Node.js Server for high throughput.
• The request router you like.

If no router is provided, it uses the find-my-way router as default implementation.

Usage

const cero = require('0http')
const { router, server } = cero()

router.on('GET', '/hello', (req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello World!')
})

router.on('POST', '/do', (req, res) => {
  // ...
  res.statusCode = 201
  res.end()
})

//...

server.listen(3000)

Routers

0http allows you to define the router implementation you prefer as soon as it support the following interface:

router.lookup = (req, res) // -> should trigger router search and handlers execution

find-my-way router

https://github.com/delvedor/find-my-way

This is the default router in 0http if no router is provided via configuration. Internally uses a Radix Tree router that will bring better performance over iterative regular expressions matching.

0http - sequential

This a 0http extended implementation of the trouter router. Includes support for middlewares and shortcuts for routes registration.
As this is an iterative regular expression matching router, it tends to be slower than find-my-way when the number of registered routes increases. However, tiny micro-services should not see major performance degradation.

Supported HTTP verbs: GET, HEAD, PATCH, OPTIONS, CONNECT, DELETE, TRACE, POST, PUT

const cero = require('0http')
const { router, server } = cero({
  router: require('0http/lib/router/sequential')()
})

router.use('/', (req, res, next) => {
  res.write('Hello ')
  next()
})

const routeMiddleware = (req, res, next) => {
  res.write('World')
  next()
}
router.get('/sayhi', routeMiddleware, (req, res) => {
  res.end('!')
})

server.listen(3000)

Async middlewares

You can user async middlewares to await the remaining chain execution:

router.use('/', async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    await next()
  } catch (err) {
    res.statusCode = 500
    res.end(err.message)
  }
})

router.get('/sayhi', () => { throw new Error('Uuuups!') }, (req, res) => {
  res.end('!')
})
