@types/restify

What is @types/restify?

@types/restify provides TypeScript type definitions for the Restify library, which is used to build RESTful web services in Node.js. It helps developers by providing type safety and autocompletion features in TypeScript projects.

What are @types/restify's main functionalities?

Server Creation

This feature allows you to create a Restify server instance. The code sample demonstrates how to create a server and make it listen on port 8080.

const restify = require('restify');
const server = restify.createServer();
server.listen(8080, function() {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

Route Handling

This feature allows you to define routes and handle HTTP requests. The code sample shows how to set up a GET route that responds with a personalized greeting.

server.get('/hello/:name', function(req, res, next) {
  res.send('hello ' + req.params.name);
  return next();
});

Middleware Support

This feature allows you to use middleware in your Restify server. The code sample demonstrates how to use the bodyParser plugin to parse the body of incoming requests.

server.use(restify.plugins.bodyParser());

Other packages similar to @types/restify

express

Express is a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js. It is similar to Restify in that it allows you to build web applications and APIs. However, Express is more widely used and has a larger ecosystem of middleware and extensions.

koa

Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, aiming to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Koa uses async functions, which makes it more modern compared to Restify.

hapi

Hapi is a rich framework for building applications and services in Node.js. It is known for its powerful plugin system and configuration-based approach, which differs from Restify's more code-centric style.
