Requestor

Split express request handlers into individual files to make your api a little more structured.

Installation

npmrc:

used to set the registry for @scode

@scode:registry=https://npm.scode.ovh

install the package:

npm i --save @scode/requestor

Usage

The path to which the individual modules respond is defined by their name.

'.' is used as path separator.

method-subdir.subdir.subdir.js

method can be any of [post, get, put, delete, all]

to avoid names like get-.js root is used for the root directory (get-root.js)

index.js:

const requestor = require('requestor');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();
requestor(app, 'api', {opts: {foo: 'bar'}});
app.listen(3000);

api/get-root.js

// will respond to get requests on /
module.exports = (req, res, next, opts) => {
  res.send(opts.foo);
};

api/post-subfolder.js

// will respond to post requests on /subfolder/
module.exports = (req, res, next, opts) => {
  res.send(opts.foo);
};

optionally, you can set a subdirectory for all requests

//...

requestor(app, 'api', {subdir: 'subdir'});

// requests that before responded to /foo/bar/ will now respond to /subdir/foo/bar/
