## Getting Started

### Installation

You can install the module via npm:

```bash
npm install livesey-routing
```

## Usage
Module supports both `ECMAScript` and `CommonJS`:

To use the module in your project(**ESM**):

```js
import http from 'node:http';
import { Router, RouteBuilder } from 'livesey-routing';

const router = new RouteBuilder()
.get('/hello/:name', (req, res) => {
const name = req.params.name;
res.json({ message: `Hello, ${name}!` });
})
.post('/data', async (req, res) => {
const data = await req.parseBody();
res.json({ received: data });
})
.build();

(async () => {
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
router.handleRequest(req, res);
});

const port = 3000;
server.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}/`);
});
})();
```

To use the module in your project(**CJS**):

```js
const http = require('node:http');
const { Router, RouteBuilder } = require('livesey-routing');

const router = new RouteBuilder()
.get('/hello/:name', (req, res) => {
const name = req.params.name;
res.json({ message: `Hello, ${name}!` });
})
.post('/data', async (req, res) => {
const data = await req.parseBody();
res.json({ received: data });
})
.build();

(async () => {
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
router.handleRequest(req, res);
});

const port = 3000;
server.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}/`);
});
})();
```

## Features

### Request Class

The `Request` class provides methods to handle and parse incoming HTTP requests, including access to URL parameters, headers, and the request body.

```js
import { Request } from 'livesey-routing';

const request = new Request(req);

// Access request method
const method = request.method;

// Access URL parameters
const params = request.extractParams('/hello/:name');

// Access request body
const body = await request.parseBody();
```

### Response Class

The `Response` class simplifies sending responses to the client.

```js
import { Response } from 'livesey-routing';

const response = new Response(res);

// Send a JSON response
response.json({ message: 'Success' });

// Send a plain text response
response.send('Hello, world!');

// Set status code
response.status(404).send('Not Found');
```

### Routing

Routing allows you to define custom routes and their associated handlers using the `RouteBuilder` class.

```js
import { RouteBuilder } from 'livesey-routing';

const router = new RouteBuilder()
.get('/user/:id', (req, res) => {
const userId = req.params.id;
res.json({ userId });
})
.post('/submit', async (req, res) => {
const data = await req.parseBody();
res.json({ received: data });
})
.put('/update/:id', async (req, res) => {
const userId = req.params.id;
res.json({ message: `Updated user ${userId}` });
})
.delete('/delete/:id', (req, res) => {
const userId = req.params.id;
res.json({ message: `Deleted user ${userId}` });
})
.build();
```

### Middleware and Nested Routers

You can use middleware and nested routers to structure your application routes more effectively.

```js
import { Router, RouteBuilder } from 'livesey-routing';

const apiRouter = new RouteBuilder()
.get('/search/:query', (req, res) => {
const query = req.params.query;
res.json({ query });
})
.build();

const appRouter = Router.use('/api', apiRouter);

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
appRouter.handleRequest(req, res);
});

const port = 3000;
server.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}/`);
});
```
