Documentation

Installation

Install sockhttp with npm

  npm install sockhttp

Usage

Import httpsock

const Host = require('./src/index');

Initialize application

const app = new Host();
app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on 3000');
});

Create endpoints

• GET

app.get('',(req,res)=>{
    // do something
    res.send();
});

• PUT

app.put('',(req,res)=>{
    // do something
    res.send();
});

• POST

app.post('',(req,res)=>{
    // do something
    res.send();
});

• DELETE

app.delete('',(req,res)=>{
    // do something
    res.send();
});

Middlewares

You can create a sequence of middlewares using

function defaultMiddleware(req,res,next) {
  console.log(1);
  next();
}
app.addDefaultMiddleware(defaultMiddleware);

You can add multiple middleware using it and they will be executed in the sequence in which they have been added

app.addDefaultMiddleware(defaultMiddleware1);
app.addDefaultMiddleware(defaultMiddleware2);
app.addDefaultMiddleware(defaultMiddleware3);

If you want to add a middleware specific to a endpoint, use this syntax

function someMiddleware(req, res, next) {
    next();
}
app.get('',someMiddleware, (req, res) => {
    // do something
    res.send();
});

CORS

To enable CORS Policy, use

app.useCORS('*','GET',60);

• First param takes allowed origin string separated by "," (comma)
• Second param takes allowed methods in Capital case, separated by "," (comma)
• Third param takes allowed max age in seconds

when using CORS, first param is mandatory.

Logger

To use logger, use

app.useLogger();

Query Params

To use, query Params, use

app.get('/products', (req, res) => {
  console.log('query params', req.query)
  res.send('text');
})

Request params

To use request params, use

app.get("/products/:id", (req, res) => {
  console.log('req.params', req.params);
  res.send("product id");
});

Body

To use body in methods, use

app.post('/products', (req,res) => {
  const body = req.body;
  ...
},)
