@remix-run/node

What is @remix-run/node?

@remix-run/node is a package that provides utilities for building server-side applications with Remix. It includes tools for handling HTTP requests and responses, managing sessions, and working with cookies, among other things.

What are @remix-run/node's main functionalities?

Handling HTTP Requests and Responses

This feature allows you to create a request handler for your Remix application. The `createRequestHandler` function sets up the necessary context for handling HTTP requests and responses.

const { createRequestHandler } = require('@remix-run/node');

const handler = createRequestHandler({
  getLoadContext() {
    return { some: 'context' };
  }
});

module.exports = handler;

Managing Sessions

This feature provides a way to manage user sessions using cookies. The `createCookieSessionStorage` function sets up session storage with specified cookie options.

const { createCookieSessionStorage } = require('@remix-run/node');

const sessionStorage = createCookieSessionStorage({
  cookie: {
    name: '__session',
    secrets: ['s3cr3t'],
    secure: true,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
    httpOnly: true
  }
});

module.exports = sessionStorage;

Working with Cookies

This feature allows you to create and manage cookies. The `createCookie` function sets up a cookie with specified options like max age and HTTP-only flag.

const { createCookie } = require('@remix-run/node');

const myCookie = createCookie('myCookie', {
  maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24,
  httpOnly: true
});

module.exports = myCookie;

Other packages similar to @remix-run/node

express

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. Unlike @remix-run/node, which is specifically designed for use with Remix, Express is a general-purpose framework that can be used for a wide variety of web applications.

koa

Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Koa uses async functions to help you write cleaner, more readable code. While @remix-run/node is tailored for Remix applications, Koa is a more general-purpose framework.

hapi

Hapi is a rich framework for building applications and services. It enables developers to focus on writing reusable application logic instead of spending time building infrastructure. Hapi is more configuration-driven compared to @remix-run/node, which is more convention-driven and integrated with Remix.
