What is restify?

Restify is a Node.js web service framework optimized for building RESTful APIs. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for creating scalable and high-performance web services.

What are restify's main functionalities?

Creating a Basic Server

This code demonstrates how to create a basic Restify server that listens on port 8080 and responds with 'Hello, world!' when a GET request is made to the '/hello' endpoint.

const restify = require('restify');
const server = restify.createServer();

server.get('/hello', (req, res, next) => {
  res.send('Hello, world!');
  next();
});

server.listen(8080, () => {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

Middleware Support

This example shows how to use middleware in Restify. The bodyParser plugin is used to parse the body of incoming POST requests, and the server responds with the parsed body.

const restify = require('restify');
const server = restify.createServer();

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

server.post('/data', (req, res, next) => {
  res.send(req.body);
  next();
});

server.listen(8080, () => {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

Error Handling

This code demonstrates how to handle errors in Restify. When a GET request is made to the '/error' endpoint, an InternalServerError is thrown. The 'restifyError' event is used to log the error and send an appropriate response.

const restify = require('restify');
const server = restify.createServer();

server.get('/error', (req, res, next) => {
  return next(new restify.errors.InternalServerError('Something went wrong!'));
});

server.on('restifyError', (req, res, err, callback) => {
  console.error(err);
  res.send(err);
  return callback();
});

server.listen(8080, () => {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});
