safe-router
safe-router is a simple, safe, and fast web API framework. Create a safe API with minimal code. All needed types are created automatically.
About
Developing safe APIs can be complicated. While it seems easy to get started with a REST API, validation of URL parameters, queries, and request body makes things difficult quickly. And the result is rarely particularly readable.
safe-router is an opinionated framework. All requests are done with POST. All parameters are sent in the request body, and are validated automatically using Zod. A handler receives an object and returns an object. Any other interactions with the raw request are done in separate extensions to keep things tidy. The result is minimal code with maximum safety and simplicity.
Installation
npm install @c-wiren/safe-router zod
Examples
Define a function:
import App from '@c-wiren/safe-router';
const app = new App();
app.define('getUser', async c => {
return { id: 0 };
});
Add Zod input type; it will be validated automatically and appear at c.params
:
import App from '@c-wiren/safe-router';
import { z } from 'zod';
const app = new App();
app.define('getUser', z.object({ id: z.number() }), async c => {
return { id: c.params.id };
});
Add an Environment type and access it at c.env
:
type Bindings = { SECRET: string; };
const app = new App<Bindings>();
app.define('getSecret', async c => c.env.SECRET);
Handle errors easily:
app.define('getUser', async c => {
const user = DB.getUser();
if (user) { return user; }
else { return c.ClientError('NotFound'); }
});
Or even easier:
app.define('getUser', async c => {
const user = DB.getUser();
return user ?? c.ClientError('NotFound');
});
Use typed error messages:
type ErrorMessage = 'NotFound' | 'Unknown';
const app = new App<Bindings, ErrorMessage>();
To keep things nice and tidy, handlers don't have access to the raw request. To access things such as headers, use an extension. The returned object is added to c.<EXTENSION_NAME>
.
const withAuth = app.createExtension('auth', c => {
const header = c.request.headers.get('Authentication');
const user = getUserFromToken(header); // Placeholder function
return { user };
});
app.define('getUser', [withAuth], async c => {
return c.auth.user;
});
