Trafficlight 🚦
A flexible NodeJS Routing Decorators for API Routing. Features include:
- Built for KOA2
- Bring-your-own router
- Bring-your-own body parser
- TypeScript and ES7 Support
- DI compatible
Usage
Building
npm run build
Install
npm i trafficlight --S
Note: You must have reflect-metadata installed as a peer dependency
Setup KOA
import 'reflect-metadata'; /* Must be singleton */
import * as Koa from 'koa';
import * as Router from 'koa-router';
import * as body from 'koa-better-body';
import { ProfileController } from './controllers';
import { bindRoutes } from 'trafficlight';
export function setupKoa() {
const app = new Koa();
app.use(body());
buildRoutes(app);
app.listen(3000);
return app;
}
function buildRoutes(app) {
const routerRoutes = new Router();
// any router can be used, we support koa-router out of the box
bindRoutes(routerRoutes, [ProfileController]);
// if you are using with some sort of DI system you can pass
// a third parameter callback to get the instance vs new ctrl.
// bindRoutes(routerRoutes, [ProfileController], (ctrl) => injector.get(ctrl));
app.use(routerRoutes.routes());
app.use(routerRoutes.allowedMethods());
}
Decorate the controller
import { Controller, Get, Use, Param, Body, Delete, Put, Post, QueryParam } from 'trafficlight';
@Controller('/profile')
@Use(someMiddleware)
export class ProfileController {
@Get()
getAll(@QueryParam('filter') filter) {
// return []
}
@Get('/:id')
@Use(someMiddleware)
getOne(@Param('id') id) {
// return {}
}
@Post()
create(@Body() body) {
// return {}
}
@Post('/:id/upload')
upload(@Param('id') id, @File() file) {
// return {}
}
@Put('/:id')
update(@Param('id') id, @Body() body) {
// return {}
}
@Delete('/:id')
destroy(@Param('id') id) {
// return success
}
}

Special return types
Since typescript doesn't allow decorators on return types. Certain type has been added to indicate and allow for file download.
FileDownload: {fileName: string, mimeType: string, stream: ReadStream}
