Type definition for .group params

[aimenhamed]

Hello, really like the framework btw :)

I was wondering if the params for the .group function can be typed so that I can abstract it in a class ?

I want to create a group wrapper class e.g.

interface Group {
  getPrefix: () => string;
  getGroup: () => ElysiaGroup;
}

so that I can do something like:

const group = new Group();
app.group(group.getPrefix(), group.getGroup());

would really appreciate this!!!

Thanks!

Yes, you can do something like this:

class Group {
	constructor(
		public prefix: string,
		public group: (app: Elysia) => Elysia<any>
	) {}

	getPrefix() {
		return this.prefix
	}

	getGroup() {
		return this.group
	}
}

const group = new Group('/games', (app) => app.get('/blue-archive', () => '😭'))

const app = new Elysia()
	.group(group.getPrefix(), group.getGroup())
	.listen(3000)

However, I recommend inlining variables into the method would have a better type-inference.

May I ask why do you want to separate it into a separate class so I can improve or introduce new features in your regard in the future?

hey, thanks that works! yeah wanted to avoid the anys for the type inference, but don't think this will be an issue.
basically trying to mimic controller service architecture for my app similar to spring boot.

where my routes are defined at the controller level (group), and then business logic in services.
I use a wrapper class around the group to represent the controller.

hope it makes sense :)
