Yasui
Light framework using Express for Node.js applications.
(◠‿◠)やすいです!
Yasui can mean "easy" in Japanese. Yasui is meant to be easy to use, light, going to essentials only, with few dependencies. Yasui simplifies your life by providing you tools to quickly implement your controllers, middleware, endpoints, and your server. Yasui provides also complete errors management (logs and client responses) and logging service.
Get started
$ npm install yasui
import yasui from 'yasui';
yasui.createServer({ });
createServer
will create an http server and listen it.
Use yasui.createApp({ })
, that return an express application, if you want to perform additional operations on it before listening the server and use your own listening method.
Browse the src/examples
folder to get an example of a simple server using the basic features of Yasui.
Configuration
createServer
and createApp
takes a configuration object with the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
| :-------- | :-----------|
| controllers | An array containing your controllers (classes using the @Controller
decorator). |
| middlewares | An array containing your application level middlewares (classes using the @Middleware
decorator). |
| environment | The name of your environment. |
| port | The listening port of your server (not needed in createApp
). 3000 by default |
| debug | Boolean, display logs more provided if true, and logs all incoming requests. |
| apiKey | Authentication key for your API. If provided, all requests should contain the x-api-key header. |
Controllers
Yasui provides decorators to define your controllers and endpoints.
The Controller
decorator takes in parameter the root path of its endpoints.
The methods of your controller can be decorated with the following: @Get
, @Post
, @Put
, @Delete
, @Patch
. These take in parameter the relative path of the endpoint.
The parameters of your endpoint can be decorated with the following: @Res
, @Req
, @Next
, to reflect express arguments, or with @Param
, @Body
, @Query
, @Header
to select a specific parameter from the query, or a subset of it ; they can take the name of the desired parameter as a parameter, in which case they will return the whole set.
@Logger
also provides a query-specific timed logger service.
Example
import express from 'express';
import { Get, Controller, Res, Param } from 'yasui';
@Controller('/')
export class MyController {
@Get('/:name')
private hello(
@Param('name') name: string,
@Res() res: express.Response
): void {
res.status(200).json({ message: `Hello ${name}!` });
}
}
Middlewares
Yasui provides also decorators to define your middlewares like controllers and use its at application, controller, or endpoint level.
The Middleware
decorator does not take parameter.
The parameters of your middleware can be decorated with the same decorators as controller endpoints.
Your middleware must obligatorily implement an use()
method, which will define the execution function of it.
Example
import express from 'express';
import { logger, Middleware, Param, Next } from '..';
@Middleware()
export class HelloMiddleware {
use(
@Param('name') name: string,
@Next() next: express.NextFunction
): void {
logger.log(`Hello ${name}`);
next();
}
}
@Controller('/', HelloMiddleware)
// [...]
@Get('/:name', HelloMiddleware)
// [...]
