Package Exports

root

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 (root) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

root

A super lightweight web framework with routing and prototype mixin support.

It's available through npm:

npm install root

Usage

Usage is simple

var root = require('root');
var app = root();

app.get('/', function(request, response) {
    response.send({hello:'world'});
});
app.post('/echo', function(request, response) {
    request.on('json', function(body) {
        response.send(body);
    });
});
app.listen(8080);

You can extend the request and response with your own methods

app.use('response.time', function() {
    this.send({time:this.request.time});
});
app.use('request.time', {getter:true}, function() {
    return Date.now();
});

app.get(function(req, res) {
    res.time();
});

Routing

Routing is done using murl. Use the get, post, put, del, patch or options method to specify the HTTP method you want to route

app.get('/hello/{world}', function(req, res) {
    res.send({world:req.params.world});
});
app.get('/test', function(req, res, next) {
    // call next to call the next matching route
    next();
});
app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
    res.send('ok');
});

Error handling

You can specify an error handler for a specific error code by using the error function

app.get('/foo', function(req, res, next) {
    res.error(400, 'bad request man'); // or use next(400)
});

app.error(404, function(req, res) {
    res.send({error:'could not find route'});
});
app.error(function(req, res) {
    res.send({error:'catch all other errors'});
});

Plugins

To create a plugin simply create a function that accepts an app

var plugin = function(app) {
    app.get('/my-plugin', function(req, res) {
        res.send('hello from plugin');
    });
};

myApp.use(plugin);
