The find-my-way npm package is a fast HTTP router for Node.js. It is designed to help developers create routing systems for web applications and APIs. It supports dynamic and static routing, HTTP methods, middleware, hooks, and versioning.

What are find-my-way's main functionalities?

Static Routing

Static routing allows you to define routes for specific paths. When a request matches the path, the associated handler is called.

const findMyWay = require('find-my-way')({ defaultRoute: (req, res) => { res.end('Not Found') } });
findMyWay.on('GET', '/example', (req, res, params) => { res.end('This is a static route example'); });

Dynamic Routing

Dynamic routing supports path parameters, enabling you to capture values from the URL path and pass them to your handler function.

findMyWay.on('GET', '/example/:param', (req, res, params) => { res.end(`Parameter value: ${params.param}`); });

HTTP Methods

The package supports various HTTP methods, allowing you to define different handlers for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.

findMyWay.on('POST', '/example', (req, res, params) => { res.end('This is a POST method example'); });

Middleware Support

Middleware functions can be used to perform actions before the final handler is executed.

findMyWay.use('/example', (req, res, params, next) => { console.log('Middleware executed'); next(); });

Versioned Routes

Versioning allows you to define different handlers for different versions of your API.

findMyWay.on('GET', '/example', { version: '1.0.0' }, (req, res, params) => { res.end('This is version 1.0.0'); });

  findMyWay.lookup(req.method, req.url, req, res)
