# Bridge

Bridge is the most straightforward yet powerful framework for creating simple or complex APIs using the full power of TypeScript, even for developers with little experience. Give it a try and see how easy it is to build your dream API!

## Documentation

Full documentation for `bridge` can be found [here](https://bridge.codes).

## Installation

```bash

# npm

npm install bridge

# Yarn

yarn add bridge

# pnpm

pnpm add bridge

```

## Quickstart

```bash

# npm

npx create-bridge-app@latest

# Yarn

yarn create bridge-app

# pnpm

pnpm create bridge-app

```

## Basic Example

```ts

import { initBridge, handler } from 'bridge';

import express from 'express';

// You can also use Yup or Superstruct for data validation

import z from 'zod';

const port = 8080;

// A handler can be used as an endpoint but also as a middleware

const heyHandler = handler({

  query: z.object({ name: z.string() }),

  resolve: ({ query }) => `Hey ${query.name}`,

});

// You can also have multiple endpoints for the same route with different methods with the method function

const routes = {

  hey: heyHandler, // POST /hey

};

// It is also possible to use pure HTTP Server

const app = express();

app.use('', initBridge({ routes }).expressMiddleware());

app.listen(port, () => {

  console.log(`Listening on port ${port}`);

});

```
