Yamato Daiwa Backend 〔YDB〕

Back-end framework with build-in TypeScript type safety. Intended to be used in full-stack applications where both client and server part written in TypeScript.

Installation

npm i @yamato-daiwa/backend -E

Quick examples

:warning: Warning: Below examples has been developed to demonstrate the API of framework such as easy to understand. For this, the splitting of code the to files and code itself has been minified, but this approach is unfit for the development of the real applications from the viewpoint of the architecture.

"Hello, world!"

import { Server, Request, Response, ProtocolDependentDefaultPorts } from "@yamato-daiwa/backend";
import { HTTP_Methods } from "@yamato-daiwa/es-extensions";


Server.initializeAndStart({
  IP_Address: "127.0.0.1",
  HTTP: { port: ProtocolDependentDefaultPorts.HTTP },
  routing: [
    {
      route: { HTTP_Method: HTTP_Methods.get, pathTemplate: "/" },

Routing and controllers

Entry point

import ProductController from "./ProductController";

import { Server, Request, Response, ProtocolDependentDefaultPorts } from "@yamato-daiwa/backend";
import { HTTP_Methods } from "@yamato-daiwa/es-extensions";


Server.initializeAndStart({
  IP_Address: "127.0.0.1",
  HTTP: { port: ProtocolDependentDefaultPorts.HTTP },
  routing: [
    {
      route: { HTTP_Method: HTTP_Methods.get, pathTemplate: "/" },
      async handler(_request: Request, response: Response): Promise<void> {
        return response.submitWithSuccess({
          HTML_Content: "<h1>Top page</h1>"
        });
      }
    },
    ProductController
  ]
});

Controller

import { Request, Response, Controller } from "@yamato-daiwa/backend";
import { HTTP_Methods } from "@yamato-daiwa/es-extensions";


export default class ProductController extends Controller {

  @Controller.RouteHandler({
    HTTP_Method: HTTP_Methods.get,
    pathTemplate: "products"
  })
  public async generateProductsPage(_request: Request, response: Response): Promise<void> {
    return response.submitWithSuccess({
      HTML_Content: "<h1>Products list</h1>"
    });
  }

  @Controller.RouteHandler({
    HTTP_Method: HTTP_Methods.get,
    pathTemplate: "products/:ID"
  })
  public async generateProductProfilePage(request: Request, response: Response): Promise<void> {
    return response.submitWithSuccess({
      HTML_Content: `<h1>Product with ID: ${request.routePathParameters.ID}</h1>`
    });
  }
}

See the Routing and controllers tutorial for the details.

Strongly typed route path parameters

import { Request, Response, Controller } from "@yamato-daiwa/backend";
import {
  HTTP_Methods,
  RawObjectDataProcessor,
  convertPotentialStringToNumberIfPossible
} from "@yamato-daiwa/es-extensions";


export default class ProductController extends Controller {

  @Controller.RouteHandler({
    HTTP_Method: HTTP_Methods.get,
    pathTemplate: "products/:ID",
    pathParametersProcessing: {
      ID: {
        preValidationModifications: convertPotentialStringToNumberIfPossible,
        type: Number,
        required: true,
        numbersSet: RawObjectDataProcessor.NumbersSets.nonNegativeInteger
      }
    }
  })
  public async generateProductProfilePage(request: Request, response: Response): Promise<void> {

    const targetProductID: number = request.getProcessedRoutePathParameters<{ ID: number; }>().ID;

    return response.submitWithSuccess({
      HTML_Content: `<h1>Product with ID: ${targetProductID}</h1>`
    });
  }
}

See the Strongly typed route path parameters tutorial for the details.

Strongly typed route query parameters

The query parameters default deserializer is qs with default configuration.

import { Request, Response, Controller, BooleanParameterDefaultPreValidationModifier } from "@yamato-daiwa/backend";
import { HTTP_Methods, RawObjectDataProcessor, convertPotentialStringToNumberIfPossible } from "@yamato-daiwa/es-extensions";
