Koa-Routr

A simple easy to use router for Koa. If you are familiar to express' router then this should be second nature to use.

Install

npm i koa-routr

Usage

It's as simple as bellow:

const koa = require('koa')
const koaRoutr = require('koa-routr')

const app = koa()
const router = koaRoutr()

app.use(router)
app.listen(8000)

router.get('/abc', function * () {
  this.body = 'GOT!!!'
})

router.put('/abc', function * () {
  this.body = 'PUT\'ED!!!'
})

router.post('/abc', function * () {
  this.body = 'POSTED!!!'
})

router.del('/abc', function * () {
  this.body = 'DELETED!!!'
})

Version 5

As of version 5 params are no longer passed into the route handle they are accessible on the context and context.request:

router
  .param('abc')
  .get('/letters/:abc', function * () {
    // abc is accessible as:
    // this.params.abc
    // or this.request.params.abc
  })

And there is middleware (which you can use to structure further routers)

const app = koa()
const router = koaRoutr()

app.use(router)
app.listen(8000)

router.use(function * (next) {
  // get users details...
  this.context = { user: 'sam' }
  yield next
})
  
const nestedRouter = koaRoutr()
nestedRouter.get('/123', function * () {
  this.body = '123!!!'
})

router.use('/abc', nestedRouter)

Now it is possible to create a new router at a mounted point, which reduces the above example to the following:

const app = koa()
const router = koaRoutr()

app.use(router)
app.listen(8000)

router.use(function * (next) {
  // get users details...
  this.context = { user: 'sam' }
  yield next
})
  
router
  .router('/abc')
    .get('/123', function * () {
      this.body = '123!!!'
    })
