Package Exports

@whi/cf-routing
@whi/cf-routing/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@whi/cf-routing) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Installation

npm install @whi/cf-routing

Quick Start

Worker Router

import { WorkerRouter, RouteHandler, Context } from '@whi/cf-routing';

class HealthHandler extends RouteHandler {
    async get(ctx: Context) {
        return { status: 'healthy' };
    }
}

const router = new WorkerRouter()
    .defineRouteHandler('/health', HealthHandler)
    .build();

export default {
    async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
        return router.fetch(request, env, ctx);
    },
};

Durable Object Router

import { DurableObjectRouter, DurableObjectRouteHandler, DurableObjectContext } from '@whi/cf-routing';

class CounterHandler extends DurableObjectRouteHandler {
    async get(ctx: DurableObjectContext) {
        // Access storage via this.storage (flattened from DurableObjectState)
        return { count: await this.storage.get('count') || 0 };
    }

    async post(ctx: DurableObjectContext) {
        const count = await this.storage.get('count') || 0;
        await this.storage.put('count', count + 1);
        return { count: count + 1 };
    }
}

export class Counter {
    constructor(state, env) {
        this.router = new DurableObjectRouter(state, env, 'counter')
            .defineRouteHandler('/count', CounterHandler);
    }

    async fetch(request) {
        return this.router.handle(request);
    }
}

Key Features

Route Handlers

Create route handlers by extending the base classes. All handler methods receive a ctx object:

class UserHandler extends RouteHandler<Env, { id: string }> {
    async get(ctx: Context<Env, { id: string }>) {
        return { userId: ctx.params.id };
    }

    async post(ctx: Context<Env, { id: string }>) {
        const body = await ctx.request.json();
        return { userId: ctx.params.id, created: true };
    }
}

router.defineRouteHandler('/users/:id', UserHandler);

The ctx object contains:

ctx.request - The incoming Request
ctx.env - Environment bindings (Worker handlers only)
ctx.params - Route parameters (e.g., { id: '123' })
ctx.data - Shared data for middleware communication
ctx.response - Response customization (status, headers)
ctx.log - Logger instance

For DurableObject handlers, the handler instance also has:

this.storage - DurableObjectStorage (flattened from state)
this.id - DurableObjectId
this.state - Raw DurableObjectState (for blockConcurrencyWhile, etc.)
this.env - Environment bindings

Automatic Error Handling

Throw HttpError for proper HTTP status codes:

import { HttpError } from '@whi/cf-routing';

async get(ctx: Context<Env, { id: string }>) {
    if (!ctx.params?.id) {
        throw new HttpError(400, 'ID required');
    }
    // Errors automatically become JSON responses
}

Response Customization

Customize status codes and headers via ctx.response:

async post(ctx: Context) {
    ctx.response.status = 201;
    ctx.response.headers.set('Set-Cookie', 'session=abc123');
    return { created: true };
}

Or return a Response directly for full control:

async get(ctx: Context) {
    return new Response('<html>...</html>', {
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' }
    });
}

Middleware with next()

Middleware uses the Koa/Hono-style next() pattern for pre/post processing:

import { Middleware } from '@whi/cf-routing';

const authMiddleware: Middleware<Env> = async (ctx, next) => {
    // Pre-processing
    const token = ctx.request.headers.get('Authorization');
    if (!token) {
        throw new HttpError(401, 'Unauthorized');
    }
    ctx.data.userId = validateToken(token);

    // Call next middleware/handler
    const response = await next();

    // Post-processing (optional)
    return response;
};

router
    .use(authMiddleware)                    // Global middleware
    .use('/api/*', rateLimitMiddleware)     // Path-specific middleware
    .defineRouteHandler('/api/users', UserHandler);

For DurableObject middleware, the signature is (ctx, state, next) where state is the DurableObjectState:

import { DurableObjectMiddleware } from '@whi/cf-routing';

const sessionMiddleware: DurableObjectMiddleware = async (ctx, state, next) => {
    const session = await state.storage.get('session');
    ctx.data.session = session;
    return next();
};

CORS Support

Configure CORS at the router level or per-handler with dynamic control:

// Router-level CORS (applies to all handlers without their own cors())
const router = new WorkerRouter<Env>('api', {
    cors: { origins: '*' }
});

// Per-handler dynamic CORS
class ApiHandler extends RouteHandler<Env> {
    cors(ctx: Context<Env>) {
        const origin = ctx.request.headers.get('Origin');
        // Allow specific subdomains
        if (origin?.endsWith('.myapp.com')) {
            return { origins: origin, credentials: true };
        }
        return undefined; // Use router default
    }

    async get(ctx: Context<Env>) {
        return { data: 'hello' };
    }
}

CORS headers are automatically consistent between OPTIONS preflight and actual responses.

Documentation
