# bun-route
**A fast, Express-like router for the high-performance `bun.serve()` HTTP server.**
`bun-route` leverages Bun.js's powerful `bun.serve` to deliver a fast, familiar, and reliable routing experience. It provides developers with an easy-to-use, Express-like API, tailored for high-performance applications built with Bun.js.
*At the **time of `bun-route`'s creation**, Bun.js did not include a built-in router, so `bun-route` was designed as a lightweight, dependency-free solution to fill that gap.*
# features
## life improvement
- **wildcards**: Can handle double wildcards (`**`) as any recursive path and
single wildcards (`*`) as any path part. *It also provides a path parameter string array".*
If enabled, cookies can also automatically be set/unset to the response headers.
- **static-serve**: Serves static files via a middleware ([example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/static-serve.ts)).
- **dump-router**: You can create a string router dump that lists the defined routes.
If you provide a bun server, it also adds a `server-is-running-on` message.
- **basic-auth**: Protects the following via HTTP basic auth ([example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/basic-auth.ts)).
- **cookie-handling**: Cookie parsing can be enabled via a middleware ([example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/cookies.ts)).
- **redirect-handler**: You can redirect via the `ResponseBuilder` or
via a redirect middleware ([example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/redirect.ts)).
- **websocket-support**: Can handle websocket request via a middleware ([example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/websocket.ts)).
## performance
- **non-async-first**: Tries to resolve a request in a non-async way until an async handler is hit.
- **merged-routes**: If 2 or more routes are defined one after the other with the same method and path,
they will be merged into a single handler to avoid re-checking.
- **method-enum**: You just write `GET`, but in the background it is converted to an enum.
*This is for faster method comparison.*
# usage
## install
Install **typescript** source from GitHub:
```sh
bun i github:NobleMajo/bun-route
```
or compiled **javascript** from the npm registry:
```sh
npm i bun-route
```
## import
```ts
import { Router } from "bun-route";
```
## example
```ts
import { Router } from "bun-route";
const router = new Router()
// handles GET requests to /
router.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Root request")
})
// use the native bun.serve function the router as request handler
const server = Bun.serve({
fetch: router.handle,
})
// dumps router routes and server-is-running-on message
console.info(router.dump(server))
```
# examples
Checkout the bun-route [examples](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/tree/main/examples):
- [simple example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/simple.ts)
- [static-serve example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/static-serve.ts)
- [websocket example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/websocket.ts)
- [redirect example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/redirect.ts)
- [cookies example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/cookies.ts)
- [basic auth example](https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route/blob/main/examples/basic-auth.ts)
Run a example:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/NobleMajo/bun-route.git
bun run examples/simple.ts
```
# tests
The router has build-in tests.
```ts
bun test
```
# future features
Here are some feature ideas for future development:
- **CORS-support**: Configure CORS headers via a buildin middleware.
- **router.serve**: Serve/listen function to start the server via the router (first parameter should be the bun.serve options without fetch).
- **websocket**: Better websocket support with more origin request infos.
