What is koa-router?

koa-router is a powerful routing middleware for Koa, a next-generation web framework for Node.js. It allows you to define routes for your web application, handle HTTP methods, and manage middleware in a clean and organized manner.

What are koa-router's main functionalities?

Basic Routing

This code demonstrates how to set up a basic route using koa-router. When a GET request is made to the root URL '/', it responds with 'Hello World!'.

const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');

const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();

router.get('/', (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = 'Hello World!';
});

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

app.listen(3000);

Route Parameters

This code demonstrates how to use route parameters with koa-router. When a GET request is made to '/users/:id', it responds with the user ID provided in the URL.

const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');

const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();

router.get('/users/:id', (ctx, next) => {
  const userId = ctx.params.id;
  ctx.body = `User ID: ${userId}`;
});

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

app.listen(3000);

Middleware

This code demonstrates how to use middleware with koa-router. The logger middleware logs the HTTP method and URL of each request before passing control to the next middleware or route handler.

const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');

const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();

const logger = async (ctx, next) => {
  console.log(`${ctx.method} ${ctx.url}`);
  await next();
};

router.get('/', logger, (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = 'Hello World!';
});

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

app.listen(3000);

Nested Routes

This code demonstrates how to create nested routes with koa-router. The nestedRouter handles requests to '/nested/info' and responds with 'Nested Route Info'.

const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');

const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();
const nestedRouter = new Router();

nestedRouter.get('/info', (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = 'Nested Route Info';
});

router.use('/nested', nestedRouter.routes(), nestedRouter.allowedMethods());

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

app.listen(3000);
