trouter

What is trouter?

Trouter is a lightweight and fast router for Node.js that allows you to define routes and handle HTTP requests. It is designed to be minimalistic and efficient, making it suitable for building small to medium-sized web applications and APIs.

What are trouter's main functionalities?

Basic Routing

This feature allows you to define basic routes for handling HTTP GET requests. The code sample demonstrates how to create a simple route that responds with 'Hello, world!' when accessed.

const Trouter = require('trouter');
const router = new Trouter();

router.get('/hello', (req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello, world!');
});

// Simulate a request
const req = { method: 'GET', url: '/hello' };
const res = { end: console.log };
router.find(req.method, req.url).handlers[0](req, res);

Route Parameters

This feature allows you to define routes with parameters. The code sample demonstrates how to create a route that captures a user ID from the URL and responds with the user ID.

const Trouter = require('trouter');
const router = new Trouter();

router.get('/user/:id', (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;
  res.end(`User ID: ${id}`);
});

// Simulate a request
const req = { method: 'GET', url: '/user/123', params: { id: '123' } };
const res = { end: console.log };
router.find(req.method, req.url).handlers[0](req, res);

Middleware Support

This feature allows you to use middleware functions in your routes. The code sample demonstrates how to create a logger middleware that logs the request method and URL before handling the request.

const Trouter = require('trouter');
const router = new Trouter();

const logger = (req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`${req.method} ${req.url}`);
  next();
};

router.use(logger);
router.get('/hello', (req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello, world!');
});

// Simulate a request
const req = { method: 'GET', url: '/hello' };
const res = { end: console.log };
const { handlers } = router.find(req.method, req.url);
handlers[0](req, res, () => handlers[1](req, res));

express

Express is a widely-used web application framework for Node.js. It provides robust routing capabilities, middleware support, and a wide range of features for building web applications and APIs. Compared to Trouter, Express is more feature-rich and suitable for larger applications.

koa

Koa is a web framework designed by the team behind Express. It aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Koa uses async functions for middleware, providing a more modern approach compared to Trouter.

hapi

Hapi is a rich framework for building applications and services. It is known for its powerful plugin system and configuration-driven approach. Hapi offers more built-in features and flexibility compared to Trouter, making it suitable for complex applications.
