egg-define-router

Painless router definition for eggjs.

Install

$ npm i egg-define-router

Usage

egg-define-router is used to define eggjs routers.

If we have an egg project with the following classic directory structure:

egg-project
|-- app
|   |-- router.js
|   |-- controller
|   |   |-- foo.js
|   |-- middleware
|   |   |-- custom
|   |   |   |-- clean.js
|   |-- ...
|-- ...

And in router.js:

const defineRouter = require('egg-define-router')
const path = require('path')
module.exports = defineRouter({
  // Equivalent to `'GET /foo/bar': 'foo.bar'`
  // -> app.router.get('/foo/bar', app.controller.foo.bar)
  '/foo/bar': 'foo.bar',
  'POST /foo/bar': 'foo.bar',
  'PUT /foo/baz': ['clean', 'foo.baz']
}, {
  middlewareRoot: path.join(__dirname, 'middleware', 'custom')
})

Config a basic router of GET method

If we have the following routes definition:

{
  // If there is no method specified,
  // the method type defaults to `GET`
  '/foo/bar': 'foo.bar',
  'POST /foo/bar': 'foo.bar'
}

which is equivalent to:

app.router.get('/foo/bar', app.controller.foo.bar)
app.router.post('/foo/bar', app.controller.foo.bar)

With custom middlewares

{
  'PUT /foo/baz': [
    // `clean` is the middleware name
    'clean',
    'foo.baz'
  ]
}

Which is equivalent to:

app.router.put(
  '/foo/baz',
  require(`${middlewareRoot}/clean`),
  app.controller.foo.baz
)

Directly define middleware/controller functions

{
  'DELETE /user': async ctx => {
    await deleteUser(ctx.params.id)
    ctx.body = 'deleted'
  },
  'PUT /comment': [
    preventXSSMiddleware,
    'comment.create'
  ]
}

defineRouter(routes, {middlewareRoot})

• routes Routes
• middlewareRoot path The search path for middleware name.

Creates the router function which accept one argument app.

routes

The complete definition of routes lists below.

type KoaFunc = (ctx: KoaContext, next?: KoaNext) => any
type ControllerName = string
type MiddlewareName = string
type Controller = ControllerName | KoaFunc
type Middleware = MiddlewareName | KoaFunc
type RouteDefinition = Controller
  | [...Array<Middleware>, Controller]
interface Routes {
  [methodAndPathname: string]: RouteDefinition
}

Here is an example for better understanding:

routes: {
  'pathname': controllerFunction,
  'METHOD pathname': 'controllerName',
  'GET pathname': [
    'middlewarename',
    middlewareFunction,
    ...,
    'controllerName'
  ],
  'DELETE pathname': [
    'middlewarename',
    middlewareFunction,
    ...,
    controllerFunction
  ],
}
