express-route-dateversioning
Express middleware for versioning routes according dates.
Why to use?
Date versioning your API enables you to develop and release your API in individual pieces or microservices. Defining the API date version lets to defer any of the versions released after the date, keeping your API consistent over time without having to define rigid numeric versions.
Install
$ npm install express-route-dateversioning --save
Usage
Setting up the server
const express = require('express');
const version = require('express-route-dateversioning');
let app = express();
// Version root middleware
app.get('/', version({
'2017-01-18': (req, res) => { res.send('new pong'); },
'2016-10-01': (req, res) => { res.send('old ping'); },
}));
Doing a request to versioned API
Api version can be defined either with apiversion
query parameter or custom header
const request = require('request');
request.get('http://api.com/thing/1?apiversion=2017-01-19');
const request = require('request');
request({
method: 'get',
uri: 'http://api.com/thing/1',
headers: {
'apiversion': '2017-01-19'
}
});
Custom configuration
Default query param (apiversion
) and header (apiversion
) names are also configurable
Note! This should be done before any versioned routes are set
const version = require('express-route-dateversioning');
version.config({
queryparam: 'custom-apiversion',
header: 'custom-apiversion'
});
