realm-router

Realm router is a bleeding edge restful framework (ec7 + decorators), based on realm dependency injection.

Features

• Dependency injection
• Decorators that support local injection and method interception
• Promised based (no need in res.send)
• Automatic method mapping

 "use realm";

 import route, cors from realm.router.decorators;
 import Session as session from realm.test;

 @route("/")
 @cors()

 class MainRouter {

    @session()
    static get($session, $params, $query, $body) {
       return { hello : "world"}
    }
 }

Installing

npm install realm-js realm-router --save

Feed realm middleware into express

var realm  = require('realm-js');
var router = require('realm-router');

realm.require('realm.router.Express', function(router) {
   app.use(router("your.package.with.routes", {
      prettyTrace: true
   }))
});

Routing

Create a class in a dedicated package.

"use realm";
import route from realm.router.decorators;

@route("/")
class MainRouter {
   static get() {
      return { hello : "world"}
   }
}
export MainRouter

Use "@route" decorator to define a path. This is pretty straightforward path2regexp. Each http method corresponds to according static method in the class.

static get() {}
static post() {}
static put() {}
static delete() {}

Route injections

There are few "local" injections that are available

| Name | Description | | --- | --- | | $req | express request | | $res | express response | | $query | Query getter $query.get('hello') | | $body | Body getter $body.get('hello') |

You can inject anything else using decorators

Decorators

Decorators are in realm-router are very powerful thing. You can intercept and inject dependencies into methods;

Let's create a helloWorld decorator

"use realm";

import Decorator from realm.router;
class HelloWorld {

   static inject() {
      return {
         $hello: "my new $hello injection"
      }
   }

   static intercept($query)
   {
      if( $query.get('hello') ){
         return {hello : "intercepted!"}
      }
   }
}

export Decorator.wrap(HelloWorld);

Inject

inject method could return an object with injections. The latter ones will be injected into the target

Intercept

intercept method might return an object which will prevent the target route from being executed. An object will be displayed instead.
