Features

  1. Middlewares
    • Propagating
    • Builtin / Custom
  2. Content-Type mapping
  3. Path-URL mapping customization
  4. Port customization
  5. Templating/Indexing
  6. Event-Oriented
  7. Caching

(Builtin) Middlewares

  1. fix - Fixes incorrect URLs
    • TODO: .xjs -> .jsx etc...
  2. directory - Serves index or performs directory indexing
    • .noindex (customisable) - empty to block indexing, fill to block specific files
    • files starting with '__' (customisable) - blocked from indexing by default
    • TODOs: .notmpl - no templating (for .jsx files mostly), and a special request to fetch raw and bypass translation
  3. static - Serves raw content and compiles templated content
    • TODO: Add caching
    • Templated content: .xjs, .htmx, .htmlx, .cssx
  4. end - Applies appropriate headers and ends requests
  5. TODO: secure - Prevents bruteforcing / DoS (-> HTTP 429)

Templated content example.htmx: Hello $$usr$$!. Translated during serving, change templating characters through server options.

Usage

const server = require("vale-server-ii").Server,
  classes = require("../dist/lib/Classes").Classes;

async function start() {
  srv = await server.setup({ });  /**@param {Classes.Options.ServerOptions} opts - leave empty fields for default*/
  await srv.bind();  //listen()
  await srv.bind(new classes.Middleware("test", [ "end" ], [ "static" ], async function body(req, res, event) {
      event.server._debug(event.reqcntr, "(TEST.TS) PASSED.");
      return event.pass("passed");
    }
  ));  //bind custom middleware
  console.debug("Server started...");
  srv.on("log", console.log);
  srv.on("request", (req, res) => console.debug("(INDEX.JS) REQ:", req.url));
} //start

start();

Enable builtin middlewares with the allowmw option.
Also take a look in Classes to see how things work
