# http-micro

Micro-framework on top of node's http module

```js
app.use((ctx) => {
ctx.res.end("Hello world!");
return Promise.resolve();
});
```

**Installation:** `npm install http-micro`

### Highlights

- Written in and works with Typescipt.
- Koa-like contexts that can be generically typed in TS.
- Promises for all middleware.
- In-built body-parsing - but only ever parse the body if you need it,
providing better security and performance.
- In-built graceful server shutdown with proper keep-alive handling.
- No monkey-patching Node's http module or any other module.
- Provides middleware chaining and composition over core `http` module.
- Awaitable `next` middlewares. So, parent middleware has complete
control over the execution of the next middleware.
- Just use `async/await` and wrap in `try-catch` for error handling. No
special quirks or ugly special-case callbacks like Express.
- High performance (Combined with bluebird promises,
performance is on par with node's raw http module).
- Small code-base.

### Example

```js
const micro = require("http-micro");
const url = require("url");

let app = new micro.App();
// When using Typescript, context can be
// generically typed to one that implements
// the IContext interface.
//
// `let app = new micro.Application(
// (app, req, res) => new MyContext());`
//
// Raw node req, and res untouched.
// Convenience functions are also provided, used
// later in the example.

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
if (url.parse(ctx.req.url)
.pathname == "/async") {
ctx.res.end("Hello world from async!");
} else {
await next();
}
});

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
await next();
})

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
if (url.parse(ctx.req.url)
.pathname == "/async-await") {
await Promise.resolve();
await Promise.resolve();
ctx.res.end("Hello world from awaited async!");
} else {
await next();
}
});

let router = new micro.Router();
// When using Typescript, can again be generic,
// `let router = new Router();`

router.get("/hello", (ctx) => {
ctx.sendText("Hello route!");
return Promise.resolve();
});

router.get("/hello-string", async (ctx) => {
ctx.sendText("Hello string!");
});

router.get("/hello-object", (ctx) => {
ctx.sendAsJson({ message: "Hello world!" });
return Promise.resolve();
});

let router1 = new micro.Router();

router1.get("/hello", (ctx) => {
ctx.sendText("chain 1: hello!");
return Promise.resolve();
});

let router2 = new micro.Router();

router2.get("/hello", (ctx) => {
ctx.res.end("chain 2: hello!");
return Promise.resolve();
});

router.use("/r1", router1);
router.use("/r2", router2);

app.use(router);

app.listen(8000, "localhost", () => {
console.log("listening");
});
```
