Xprez is a lightweight web framework inspired by Express.js, designed to simplify the process of building web applications and APIs in Node.js. It provides a minimalistic and flexible approach to handling HTTP requests and middleware.
-
Middleware Pipeline: Xprez uses a middleware pipeline architecture that allows you to define and execute middleware functions in a specific order for incoming HTTP requests.
-
Routing: Define routes for different HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) and URL patterns using a simple API.
-
Parameter Handling: Easily extract URL parameters from incoming requests using a familiar syntax.
-
Extensible: You can extend and customize Xprez with your own middleware and functionality.
To use Xprez in your Node.js project, you can install it via npm:
npm install xprezzHere's a basic example of how to use Xprez to create a simple HTTP server:
const Xprez = require("xprezz");
const app = new Xprez();
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello, World!");
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Server is running on port 3000");
});You can use middleware to process requests before they reach your route handlers. Xprez allows you to add middleware functions using the use method:
app.use((req, res, next) => {
// Your middleware logic here
next(); // Call next to pass control to the next middleware or route handler
});Xprez provides a simple routing mechanism to define route handlers for different HTTP methods and URL patterns:
app.get("/users/:id", (req, res) => {
const userId = req.params.id;
// Fetch user data and send a response
res.end(`userId: ${userId}`)
});
