@delysium/api-kit

Utility KIT for Express apis.

Installation

npm i @delysium/api-kit

Usage

• Add Error middleware to your App

import express from "express"

const app = express()
app.use(errorMiddleware)

• Declare API handler in your routes, removing Express from your Controllers logic

import {Router} from "express"
import {handle} from "../interfaces/api"

// your own controller
import UserController from "../controllers/user.controller"
import {validateRequest} from "../middleware"
const ctrl = new UserController()

const router = Router()
router.get("/users/:userId", handle.bind(ctrl.get))
router.post("/users", validateRequest(CreateRequest), handle.bind(ctrl.create))

export default router

• Add routes to your App

import userRouter from "./routes/user.route"
app.use(userRouter)

• Create your Controllers
  • You can now consider your controllers as simple methods without considering Express anymore
  • The success response will be handled in the router and the possible errors will be handled by the error middleware when HttpException are thrown in your code

import {PathRequest, AuthBodyRequest} from "../interfaces/api"

export default class UserController {
    public get = async (req: PathRequest<GetRequest>): Promise<UserResponse> => {
        const params = req.params
        return {}
    }
    public create = async (req: BodyRequest<CreateRequest>): Promise<UserResponse> => {
        const body = req.body
        return {}
    }
}
