Slim

Slim is a small web framework which uses async/await middleware. Only basic functionality has been implemented.

Slim is heavily inspired by Koa.

Note: This is currently a work-in-progress and as such may not work as intended, and (breaking) API changes are frequent.

Installation

npm i @art-of-coding/slim

Example

import { createServer } from 'http'
import Slim from '@art-of-coding/slim'

// Create a new app
const app = new Slim()

// Add middleware
app.use(
  async (ctx, next) => {
    if (ctx.req.pathname === '/go-to-github') {
      ctx.res.statusCode = 302
      ctx.res.set('Location', 'http://github.com')
      ctx.res.body = 'Redirecting to Github...'
    } else {
      await next()
    }
  },
  async ctx => {
    ctx.res.statusCode = 200
    ctx.res.body = 'Welcome!'
  }
)

// Create the server and listen
createServer(app.callback()).listen(3000)

To Do

This list is incomplete.

• Supply API documentation
• Support proxies (e.g. X-Forwarded-For)
• Support 100 Continue (and thus Expect: 100-Continue)
• Support HTTP Trailers
• Support content type setters (e.g. res.type = 'xml') and checkers (e.g. req.type('html'): boolean)
• Support accept helpers (e.g. req.accepts('xml'): boolean)
