METHOD DECORATORS

This are functions that defines what function to be used in a route method inside a controller.

Usage

Before using a decorator you must first import it from @achtjs/common module.

import { Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete } from "@achtjs/common";

You can use a method decorator like calling a normal function with the exception of adding an @ sign before the function name. The route path has a default value of "/".

@Get()
function(){
    // Do some GET stuff here
}

You can also provides additional parameters that includes the path and middlewares for that specific route.

@Get({ path: "/", middlewares: [] })
function(){
    // Route logic
}

Note: middlewares are OPTIONAL

You can also just provide a string denoting the name of the route.

@Get("/")
function(){
    // Route logic
}

You can also just provide an array of middleware and its path will have a default value of "/" as the route name.

@Get([middlewares])
function(){
    // Route logic
}
