Furu Web Server

Extraordinary Javascript Web Server.

Adds what's missing from the built in web server of NodeJS:

• Body parameters and file uploads
• Cookies
• Cors
• Middleware
• Language
• Redirects
• Mime types
• Request store
• Routes
• Static files
• Extra properties:
  • IP address
  • pathname
  • protocol
• And more!

The server is extremely fast and minimal.

Check out the Furu example app here.

Install

npm i furu

Usage

Minimal usage example:

async function handleRequest(req, res) {
  if (req.pathname == '/hello') {
    return { hello: 'world' }
  }
}

// The server object is a vanilla NodeJS HTTP server
var server = furu({ port: 9000 }, handleRequest)

More advanced example with pages, layouts and assets:

var furu = require('furu')
var layout = require('./app/layouts/main.js')
var homePage = require('./app/pages/home.js')
var aboutPage = require('./app/pages/about.js')

var routes = {
  'get#/': homePage,
  'get#/about': aboutPage
}

async function handleRequest(req, res) {
  if (req.route) {
    var html = await req.route(req, res)
    return layout(html)
  }
}

var options = { port: 9095, dir: 'app/assets', routes }

furu(options, handleRequest)
