Package Exports
- restify
- restify/package
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 (restify) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
node-restify is meant to do one thing: make it easy to build an API webservice in node.js that is correct as per the HTTP RFC. That's it. It's not MVC, it doesn't bring in a lot of baggage, it's just a small framework to let you build a web service API.
Why does this exist?
After starting with express for several backend, machine-consumed projects it because obvious I only needed about 10% of what connect gives you, and the parts they gave me still required writing a lot of extension code over the top to do what I needed (mainly properly parse request parameters and respond with JS objects).
I wanted something smaller and more purposed to this use case. If this isn't you, move along, nothing to see here.
Usage
var restify = require('restify');
var server = restify.createServer();
server.get('/my/:name', function(req, res) {
res.send(200, {
name: req.uriParams.name
});
});
server.post('/my', function(req, res) {
// name could be in the query string, in a form-urlencoded body, or a
// JSON body
res.send(201, {
name: req.params.name
});
});
server.del('/my/:name', function(req, res) {
res.send(204);
});
server.listen(8080);Installation
