Zen-Server

Zen-Server is a lightweight, fast, and flexible HTTP server for Node.js. It provides a simple API for creating web applications with support for middleware, routing, and various parsing options.

Features

• Easy-to-use API similar to Express.js
• Support for middleware
• Built-in routing for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods
• Optional JSON and Protobuf parsing
• TypeScript support out of the box

Installation

npm install zen-server

Quick Start

import Zen from 'zen-server';

const app = new Zen();
app.start();

app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello, World!');
});

app.post("/post", (req, res) => {
    res.status(200).json({
        success: true
    });
})

app.listen(3000).then(() => {
  console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
});

API

Creating a server

import Zen from 'zen-server';
const app = new Zen();
app.start()

Routing

app.get(path, handler)
app.post(path, handler)
app.put(path, handler)
app.delete(path, handler)

Example:

app.get('/users', async (req, res) => {
  // Handle GET request
});

app.post('/users', (req, res) => {
  // Handle POST request
});

path based async Middleware

app.use(middleware, [path])

Example:

app.use(async (req, res, next) => {
  console.log('Request received:', req.method, req.url);
  await next();
});

Request and Response

The req object provides information about the HTTP request:

• req.method: The HTTP method of the request
• req.url: The URL of the request
• req.headers: The headers of the request
• req.body: The body of the request (if parsed)

The res object provides methods to send the response:

• res.status(code): Set the status code
• res.send(body): Send a response
• res.json(body): Send a JSON response
• res.append(name, value): Append a header

Parsing

Enable JSON parsing:

app.enableJsonParsing();

Enable Protobuf parsing (Feauture will be available on v1.1):

app.enableProtobufParsing();

Starting the server

app.start()

Example:

app.start(3000).then(() => {
  console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
});

Create clusters of server to handle blocking operation parallely

app.enableCluster([NO_OF_WORKERS]);

TypeScript Support

Zen-Server is written in TypeScript and provides type definitions out of the box.
