express-mega-router

express-mega-router

A simple Express middleware that allows for dynamic routing and middleware.

It uses path-to-regexp for route parsing, thereby imposing all limitations inherent within.

Uses Babel for transpiling ES6 into ES5.

Installation

npm install express-mega-router --save

Usage

const express     = require('express');
const megaRouter  = require('express-mega-router')();

const app = express();
app.use(megaRouter.middleware);

Basic route

megaRouter.get('/test', function(req, res) {
  res.send('Test Route');
});

Catch all methods

megaRouter.all('/*', function(req, res, next) {
  console.log('catch-all engaged!');
  next();
});

One-time use route

function singleUseRoute(req, res) {
  res.send('Single-use route!');
  megaRouter.unget('/*', singleUseRoute);
});
megaRouter.get('/*', singleUseRoute);

Clearing all routes for a path

megaRouter.unget('/*');

Mixed route arguments

megaRouter.get('/*',
  function(req, res, next) {
    console.log('A');
    next();
  },
  function(req, res, next) {
    console.log('B');
    next();
  },
  [
    function(req, res, next) {
      console.log('C');
      next();
    },
    function(req, res, next) {
      console.log('D');
      next();
    }
  ]);
