Simple API Router - v1.1.1

A lightweight, flexible API routing library for JavaScript that provides a simple and extensible way to define and manage API Endpoints.

Features

• Simple API and Endpoint class structure
• Easy route and method matching
• Flexible endpoint handler execution
• Supports dynamic API routing

Usage Example

This example is taken from a Full Working Example

Defining an API

import { Api, Endpoint } from 'simple-api-router';

const API = new Api("/api/");

API.addEndpoint(new Endpoint("time", "GET", (req, res) => {
    return STATE.respondWithContent(res, Date.now().toString(), STATE.TEXT_HTML);
}));

const HTTPS_SERVER = createServerHTTPS(STATE.loadDefaultSecureContext(), (req, res) => {
    if (API.checkFindExecute(req, res)) {
        return;
    }
    
    ...
})...

Calling an API

fetch("/api/time").then((response) => response.json().then((time) => console.log(time)));

API Classes

Api Class

Constructor

• new Api(apiRoute): Create a new API with a base route

Methods

• addEndpoint(endpoint): Add an endpoint to the API
• checkRoute(url): Check if a URL matches the API's base route
• findEndpoint(endpointPath): Find an endpoint matching a given path
• findEndpointCheckMethod(req): Find an endpoint and verify its HTTP method
• checkFindExecute(req, res): Attempt to execute the handler for a matching endpoint

Endpoint Class

Constructor

• new Endpoint(path, method, handler): Create a new endpoint

Methods

• checkMethod(method): Verify the HTTP method
• executeHandler(req, res): Execute the endpoint's handler
• executeHandlerArgs(req, res, ...args): Execute the handler with additional arguments

Key Concepts

• The Api class manages a collection of endpoints for a specific route prefix
• Endpoint instances define specific path, HTTP method, and handler combinations
• checkFindExecute method provides a convenient way to route and handle requests
