@wooksjs/event-http

!!! This is work-in-progress library, breaking changes are expected !!!

As a part of wooks event processing framework, @wooksjs/event-http implements http events and provides composables that let you:

• parse urls search params
• parse cookies
• parse request body (json, url-encoded, form, ...)
• serve files

The main ideas behind composable functions are:

1. Never mutate request object (req). Accumulate a request context in a separate object(s) instead (wooks store);
2. Never parse anything (cookies, body) before it is really requested by the request handler;
3. Get rid of complex predefined data objects containing everything (cookies, headers, body, parsed body etc.) and use composable functions (hooks) instead;
4. Get rid of tons of dependencies (middlewares) and implement everything that is needed for web app in a simple way.

Official Wooks HTTP composables:

• @wooksjs/http-body - to parse body
• @wooksjs/http-static - to serve static files
• @wooksjs/http-proxy - to proxy requests

Installation

npm install wooks @wooksjs/event-http

Quick Start

import { useRouteParams } from 'wooks'
import { createHttpApp } from '@wooksjs/event-http'

const app = createHttpApp()

app.on('GET', 'hello/:name', () => `Hello ${useRouteParams().get('name')}!`)

// shortcuts for some methods are supported:
// app.get('hello/:name', () => `Hello ${ useRouteParams().get('name') }!`)

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Wooks Server is up on port 3000')
})
