Node WebServer

NodeJS web framework for learning purpose, somehow inspired by Express

Dependencies

The least possible, for now : none

Getting started

From src folder :

node main.js

Then in your browser : http://localhost:1234/

What's what

• public/ contains all statics files exposed throw the static middleware
• src/ contains everything else
  • nws "framework" source (for now)
  • routes contains modules that could be executed if a route match the requested url
  • shared routes, config...
  • views Templates

Route definition

module.exports = {
	"/some/route":{
		"get":"index.index"
	}
};

When the http://localhost:1234/some/route url is called through a GET request, then the module routes/index is required and the index method of that module is executed with the request and response parameters

If no route matches, the app sends back a 404 response
