Nodejs-Web-Server
How to use
Nodejs-Web-Server is a wrapper around express.js, handlebars and jsonwebtoken.
Every app.listen method looks basically like this:
app.listen(Method, Path, callbacks)
To specify the Port add PORT to the .env file together with the port number.
PORT=Port_number
Methods
GET
POST
STATIC
API
GET
app.listen("GET", "/path/to/listen", (req, res) => {
});
callbacks:
req
res
POST
app.listen("POST", "/path/to/listen", (body, req, res) => {
});
callbacks:
body
req
res
STATIC
app.listen("STATIC", "/favicon.ico");
parameters
path to static file in static directory (root)
API
app.listen("API", "/api/v1/test", (decoded, body, req, res) => {
});
If the provided JWT-token is not valid, all callbacks will be null.
The JWT-secret is stored in an .env file under the tag SECRET:
SECRET=this_is_a_secret
callbacks:
decoded jwt token
body
req
res
Templating
nodejs-web-server also has a built-in templating engine built around handlebars. to use it, just type:
let template = app.template("View Name", {
data1: "title",
data2: "logo"
});
I would recommend this in use together with the GET method.
app.listen("GET", "/path/to/listen", (req, res) => {
res.send(app.template("view", {
data1: "title",
data2: "logo"
}));
});
Required Directories
all directories have to be in the app's root path
static (only required if you use static function)
views (only required if you use the templating engine)
MySQL-Query
To use the built in MySQL-Driver use
app.db.query("SELECT NOW()", null, (err, res) => {
})
To use multiple SQL-Statements use
app.db.queryMultiple("CREATE DATABASE testtable; USE testtable; ...", null, (err, res) => {
})
