function-apis

Pass functions to the client instead of API routes

API routes are great for APIs, but for small projects where you have to access server data or hide application logic, you can just call a server function from the client.

Examples

// Hide server logic

// Server
const functions = require('function-apis');
app.use(functions({
    hello: (name) => {
        return `Hello, ${name}!`;
    }
}, true));

// Client
hello('World').then(alert); // => 'Hello, World!'

// Log something to the console

// Server
const functions = require('function-apis');
app.use(functions({
    consoleLog: (...data) => {
        console.log(...data);
        return 'OK';
    }
}, true));

// Client
consoleLog('Hello!') // => 'OK'
