sirine

Export function as endpoint.

Installation:

bun add sirine

Suppose you have an existing function:

// utils.ts
export function hello(person: string) {
    return `hello ${person}`
}

We can turns the function into an endpoint:

import { sirine } from 'sirine'
import * as utils from './utils'

const server = sirine(utils).listen(3000)

The function name will turn into an endpoint, in this case as /hello

// server.ts
import { sirine } from 'sirine'
import * as utils from './utils'

const server = sirine(utils).listen(3000)
export type server = typeof server

Then import Sirine client and server type on client.

// client.ts
import { client } from 'sirine'

const app = client<server['types']>('http://localhost:3000')

app.hello().then(console.log)

Why

To export function into an endpoint in the most easiest/convenient way possible.

Sirine is intent NOT TO to replace or compete with existing HTTP-based framework nor being more than just exposing function to network.

Sirine is an RPC-like client-server with end-to-end type safety for TypeScript developer who just wants to run functions on edge.

Sirine do not do the following:

• Validate input/output
• Interact with how HTTP work

How it works

sirine is a function that may accept multiple 1 level-deep object with a value of function.

Each function will be register as HTTP by the following condition:

• GET - function accept DO NOT paramter
• POST - function accept paramter

The method should list as follows:

Function	Method
say() {}	GET
say(word) {}	POST

Each function name will turn into an endpoint name separated by / for each camelCase separation.

The path should list as follows:

Function	Path
say() {}	/say
sayHello() {}	/say/hello
index() {}	/
default() {}	/

Handler

Each function may or may not accept one parameters which will always be a value of HTTP body.

export function hello(word: string) {
    return word
}

We may interact with HTTP Request by accessing this.

export function hello(this: Response) {
    return this.url
}

Validation

Sirine doesn't provide validation but we recommend using Zod for easy integration.

import { z } from 'zod'

const Word = z.object({
    word: z.string()
})
export function say(this: Response, word: z.infer<typeof Word>) {
    word = Word.parse(word)

    return word
}

Types

We may use infers the type of the server by the following:

Server to client

Accessing Sirine.types, and pass to client<T>

On the server, we create a new Sirine instance.

// server.ts
import { sirine } from 'sirine'
import * as utils from './utils'

const server = sirine(utils).listen(3000)
export type server = typeof server

Then import Sirine client and server type on client.

// client.ts
import { client } from 'sirine'

const app = client<server['types']>('http://localhost:3000')

app.hello().then(console.log)

This will create the order of type as the following:

utils ---> server ---> client

Shared to client and server

On monorepo, if we have access shared utilities on both client and server, we may pass the types to client directly.

// server.ts
import { sirine } from 'sirine'
import * as utils from '@workspace/utils'

const server = sirine(utils).listen(3000)

Then on the client, we import the same shared utils.

// client.ts
import { client } from 'sirine'
import * as utils from '@workspace/utils'

const app = client<typeof utils>('http://localhost:3000')

app.hello().then(console.log)

This will create the order of type as the following:

utils ---> server
utils ---> client

Server Specification

Sirine server may only introduce either GET or POST method.

The content-type may only be application/json or multipart/formdata.

If content-type is provide as multipart/form-data, the parameter may only be a singular in constrast to application/json

Runtime

By default Sirine the following runtime using Sirine.listen out of the box:

• Bun
• Deno
• Node (via @whatwg-node/server)

Sirine is using Web Standard Request / Response allowing compatible with WinterCG compliance runtime, for example:

• Cloudflare
• Vercel Edge Function
• Lagon

We may access Sirine.handle which accepts Web Standard Request / Response to integrate with the runtime above.
