@harperdb/http-router

A HarperDB Component for routing requests to other components that is inspired by the Edgio router API: https://docs.edg.io/applications/v4/routing.

Installation

Go into the HarperDB application you would building and install this package and add it to the config.yaml file:

1. Install:

npm install @harperdb/http-router

2. Add to config.yaml:

'@harperdb/http-router':
  package: '@harperdb/http-router' # this can include a @version number if desired
  files: '*.*js' # Load js files so it can find the router.js file and config
# The router comes before the other main framework adapter in the pipeline
'@harperdb/nextjs':
  package: '@harperdb/nextjs'
  files: '/*'
  prebuilt: true

And then you can build a router.js file in the root of your application that looks like this:

const { Router, or, nextRoutes } = require('@harperdb/http-router');
module.exports = new Router().get('/some-path', ({ cache, proxy }) => {
	// handle the request here
})

Options

All configuration options are optional

port: number

Specify a port for the caching server. Defaults to 9926.

files: String

Used to load the necessary JS files.
