Deno native router

A zero dependency simple native router in Deno. Only router, nothing else.

Basic usage

Create router

To create router, import the Router class:

import { Router } from "https://deno.land/x/nativerouter/mod.ts";
const router=new Router();

Add routes

The routes can be added by calling the following functions:

router.get()
router.post()
router.put()
router.patch()
router.options()
router.head()
router.trace()

Each of these function expects two inputs:

Path name to route
- path name could contain variables like /api/rest/something/:someId/somethingelse/:someElseId)
Callback handler
- The async handler must take two inputs: Request & Params and must return a Response object

router.add(
  '/something/:someId/somethingelse/:someElseId', 
  async (req:Request, params:Record<string, string>) => new Response()
);

Route request

Any incoming request, represented by the Request object, can be routed using router.route() function. The only input is the Request object. The router function would look for handlers. If found, the request would be forwarded over to the handler. If not found, a 404 response would be sent. The expected output from the handler is a Response object.

await router.route(request);

A sample app

import { Router } from "https://deno.land/x/nativerouter/mod.ts";
import { listenAndServe } from "https://deno.land/std/http/mod.ts";

const router = new Router();
router.get("/", async (r: Request, p: Record<string, string>) => {
  return new Response("Hello from / handler");
});
router.put(
  "/users/:userId/attachments",
  async (r: Request, p: Record<string, string>) => {
    return new Response(
      "Hello from PUT /users/:userId/attachments handler, params=" +
        Object.entries(p).join(", "),
    );
  },
);
listenAndServe(":3000", async (r) => await router.route(r));
