happier-server

This module abstracts all the code involved in writing a Hapi server from scratch. Include the module, instantiate with your config and done.

Use this simple module to easily create a v18 Hapi Server!

Requirements

node >=8.10

Installation

npm i --save happier-server

Usage

Include the module

const HttpServer = require('happier-server').Server.HttpServer

Create a new Hapi server instance by providing a simple config object

const httpServer = new HttpServer({
    port: 8080 // Whichever port you want the server to run on
    routes: [/* Hapi v18 routes. See below for example */],
    logger, // used for error reporting and status updates outside of request logging
    swagger: {  // optional
        title: 'A title for your documentation'
        pathPrefix: 'A prefix for your documentation routes (e.g. /v1)',
        disabled: false, // optional, default false
        includeAuth: true // optional, default true.  Displays a field in the header for entering your jwt token
        }
    });

To start the server

await httpServer.start()

To stop the server

await httpServer.stop();

Hapi v18 route example

module.exports = [
    {
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/_status',
        config: {
          tags: ['api'],
          description: 'Retrieves information about the health of the API'
        },
        handler: async (request, h) => {
          return 200
        }
    }
]
