Named routes for Architect HTTP functions

Install

Into your existing Architect project:

npm i arc-plugin-named-routes

Add the following to your Architect project manifest (usually app.arc):

@plugins
arc-plugin-named-routes

Then modify any HTTP routes you wish to name to the verbose format and add a name:

@http
/foo
  method get
  name foo

Usage

Import the route() helper in to an HTTP function Lambda to use named routes:

// src/http/get-index/index.js
const route = require('arc-plugin-named-routes/route')

exports.handler = async () => ({
  statusCode: 200,
  headers: {
    'content-type': 'text/html; charset=utf8'
  },
  body: `
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    </head>
    <body>
      <a href="${route('foo')}">Foo</a>
    </body>
    </html>
  `,
})

You must pass path parameters to route() if they exist in the route's path:

@http
/foo/:id
  method get
  name foo

route('foo', { id: 123 })

// returns: /foo/123

Any properties of the supplied object that do not match a path property are appended to the route in a query string:

route('foo', { id: 123, bar: 'bar' })

// returns: /foo/123?bar=bar

You can use the same name for two or more routes as long as each route has a unique method. The helper function will default to GET, then ANY. You can optionally supply an alternative method as the first argument:

@http
/foo/:id
  method get
  name foo
/bar
  method post
  name foo

route('foo', { id: 123 })

// returns: /foo/123

route('get', 'foo', { id: 123 })

// returns: /foo/123

route('post', 'foo')

// returns: /bar

When refactoring routes, to ease migration you can define multiple names for a single route (assuming no duplication, as above):

@http
/foo
  method get
  name foo bar

route('foo')

// returns: /foo

route('bar')

// returns: /foo

Configuration

If you wish to use the plugin for routes that are external to the current application, you can configure them using the @named-routes pragma in app.arc:

@named-routes
testing
  foo http://localhost:9876/foo/:id
staging
  foo https://example.org/foo/:id

Routes are defined against a stage. You can use path parameters in the usual way.

External routes will be interpreted as ANY method routes and prefixed with external.:

route('external.foo', { id: 123 })

// returns: http://localhost:9876/foo/123 in testing and https://example.org/foo/123 in staging
