Example

Your Library

var agnostic = require('agnostic');

module.exports = agnostic(myRequestHandler);

/**
 * Does cool things
 *
 * @param {EventEmitter} request - request object, mimicking IncomingMessage
 * @param {Function} respond - callback to respond to the request
 */
function myRequestHandler(request, respond)
{
  // do cool things
  // `request.body` - parsed request body
  // `request.query` - parsed query string
  // `respond` is a function with the following signature:
  // `respond([code], [content[, options]]);`
  respond(200, 'Received hit to ' + request.url, {headers: {'X-Powered-By': 'AllCoolThings'}});
}

Express

var express = require('express');
var coolLib = require('above-cool-lib');

var app = express();

app.all('/my-endpoint', coolLib);

// start the server
app.listen(1337);

Restify

var restify = require('restify');
var coolLib = require('above-cool-lib');

var server = restify.createServer();

server.get('/my-endpoint', coolLib);
server.post('/my-endpoint', coolLib);

// start the server
server.listen(1337);

Hapi

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var coolLib = require('above-cool-lib');

var server = new Hapi.Server();

// setup hapi server
server.connection({ port: 1337 });

server.route({
  method : ['GET', 'POST'], // Hapi uses GET handler for HEAD requests
  path   : '/my-endpoint',
  handler: coolLib
});

// start the server
server.start();

http

  var http    = require('http');
  var coolLib = require('above-cool-lib');

  server = http.createServer(coolLib);

  // start the server
