Febby is a versatile typescript based backend HTTP framework designed to streamline the development of production-ready RESTful APIs. It offers a rich set of features that make building API endpoints and managing data effortless. Whether you're working with MongoDB collections, integrating Redis caching, or utilizing the power of the OpenAPI Specification, Febby provides the tools you need to build robust and efficient APIs.
Install febby with npm
npm install febby -SFebby simplifies the process of creating REST endpoints on MongoDB collections. With minimal developer effort, you can effortlessly expose CRUD operations on your data, reducing boilerplate code.
const { Febby } = require("febby");
const config = {
port: 3000,
db: {
url: "mongodb://localhost:27017/test",
},
appBaseUrl: "/hello", // app base url will not be taken into consideration when app created using open-api spec
redis: {
port: 6379,
host: "0.0.0.0",
},
loadDefaultMiddlewareOnAppCreation: true, // you can delay loading default middleware by setting up false and use built in method 'loadDefaultMiddlewares' to load on demand.
serviceName: "febbyapp", // used to create redis keys
};
const febby = new Febby(config);To enhance performance and reduce latency, Febby seamlessly integrates Redis caching into your API. Cache frequently requested data and minimize database calls, resulting in faster response times.
const { Febby } = require("febby");
const config = {
port: 3000,
appBaseUrl: "/hello", // app base url will not be taken into consideration when app created using open-api spec
redis: {
port: 6379,
host: "0.0.0.0",
},
loadDefaultMiddlewareOnAppCreation: true, // you can delay loading default middleware by setting up false and use built in method 'loadDefaultMiddlewares' to load on demand.
serviceName: "febbyapp", // used to create redis keys
};
const febby = new Febby(config);Febby is built on top of the widely adopted Express.js framework, which means you can leverage the flexibility and community support that Express provides while benefiting from Febby's added features.
Febby simplifies API development with its support for the OpenAPI Specification (formerly known as Swagger). Load your OpenAPI YAML file, and Febby will automatically generate API routes, allowing you to focus on defining your API's behavior. provide x-controller and x-middlewares to register handler on path.
There are two ways to register controllers and middlewares. one is by passing array of controllers and middlewares to openAPI options and other one is by passing directory path.
paths:
/pet:
put:
tags:
- pet
summary: Update an existing pet
description: Update an existing pet by Id
operationId: updatePet
x-controller: updatePetController
x-middlewares:
- middleware1
- middleware2const { Febby } = require("febby");
const config = {
port: 3000
};
const febby = new Febby(config);
const middlewareList = [
{
name: "middleware1",
func: (req, res, next) => {
console.log('middleware 1 logger')
next()
},
},
{
name: "middleware2",
func: (req, res, next) => {
console.log('middleware 2 logger')
next()
},
},
];
const controllerList = [
{
name: "updatePetController",
func: (req, res) => res.json({ message: "hello world!" }),
},
]
await febby
.loadOpenAPIConfigYAML(path.join(__dirname, "open-api.yaml"), {
middlewares: middlewareList,
controllers: controllerList,
openApiValidatorOptions: {
validateApiSpec: true,
validateRequests: false,
validateResponses: true,
},
})
// or
// New feature:
// You can now provide a directory path for middlewares and controllers.
// Alternatively, you can provide an array of middleware and controller interfaces.
await febby.loadOpenAPIConfigYAML(path.join(__dirname, "open-api.yaml"), {
middlewares: path.join(__dirname,"middlewares"),
controllers: path.join(__dirname, "controllers"),
openApiValidatorOptions: {
validateApiSpec: true,
validateRequests: true,
validateResponses: false,
},
});
// you can register middlewares and controllers by passing directory pathCustomize your API's behavior with ease by defining middleware functions. Febby lets you register middleware globally or for specific routes, providing fine-grained control over request processing.
const api = await febby.router("/api"); // api router
function logActionOnUserCrud(req, res, next) {
console.log(`${req.method}:${req.url}`);
next();
}
// register middleware on main router
await febby.middleware(logActionOnUserCrud);
// register middleware on given router
await febby.middleware(logActionOnUserCrud, api);Register your database models with Febby effortlessly. Define your models with schema information, and Febby takes care of the rest, making it easy to work with your data.
const users = await febby.model("users", {
display_name: {
type: String,
},
first_name: {
type: String,
},
});Create HTTP routes effortlessly with Febby. Define the routes and handlers, and let Febby handle the routing logic, making your code cleaner and more organized.
const febby = new Febby(config);
const api = await febby.router("/api"); // api router
await febby.route({
router: api,
path: "/",
method: "get",
handler: (req, res) => {
const message = "Welcome to Febby!";
res.json({
message,
});
},
});Febby simplifies the process of starting your server. Use the start instead of bootstrap(deprecated) function to initiate your Febby app and specify a callback function to run when the server starts.
await febby.start()const path = require("path");
const { Febby } = require("febby");
const config = {
port: 3000,
db: {
url: "mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017/test",
},
appBaseUrl: "/hello", // if routes are created by open-api spec then this base url will not be used
loadDefaultMiddlewareOnAppCreation: false, // you can set false and load default middleware on demand using 'loadDefaultMiddleware'
redis: {
port: 6379,
host: "0.0.0.0",
},
};
// febby instance creation
const febby = new Febby(config);
const api = await febby.router("/api");
await febby.loadDefaultMiddleware();
const users = await febby.model("users", {
name: {
type: String,
},
firstname: {
type: String,
},
});
const books = await febby.model("books", {
name: {
type: String,
},
author: {
type: String,
},
});
const logActionOnUserCrud = (req, res, next) => {
console.log(`${req.method}:${req.url}`);
next();
};
await febby.middleware(logActionOnUserCrud, api);
