Restify Decorators

Typescript decorators for quickly creating Restify controllers.

Installation

npm install restify-decorators --save

Usage

import { controller, get, post, authenticated, registerControllers } from 'restify-decorators'
import * as restify from 'restify'


@controller('/users')
class UserController {

  @get('/:id')
  public async getUser (req, res, next) { ... }
    
  @get('/:id/feed')
  public async getFeed (req, res, next) { ... }
  
  @post('/')
  @authenticated()
  public async createUser (req, res, next) { ... }
  
  @post('/:id/story', loggerMiddleware, compressionMiddleware)
  @authenticated()
  public async createStory (req, res, next) { ... }

}

const server = restify.createServer()

registerControllers(sever)
  .withAuthenticator(jwtAuthenticator)
  .addController(new UserController())

@controller(rootPath)

@controller('/path')
class FooController {}

A class decorator that will mark the class as a controller. @controller takes a root path for the controller. Controllers must be explicitly wired to your server via registerController or registerControllers.

@<http-verb>('path', [...middleware])

@get('/:id', middlewareOne, middlewareTwo)
public getById (req, res, next) {}

A method decorator for http verbs. The path will be prepended with the controller's root path. Optionally pass in middleware. The middleware will be executed in the order passed.

@authenticated()

@post('/')
@authenticated()
public createUser (req, res, next) {}

A method decorator that will first run authentication middleware on a route. When registering a controller with authenticated routes, you must pass an authenticator to registerController or registerControllers.

registerController(server, controller, [authenticator])

Used to add a single controller to the server.

registerControllers(server)

registerControllers(server)
  .withAuthenticator(jwtAuthenticator)
  .addController(userController)
  .addController(adminController)

A convience method over registerController to make it easy to wire up all of your controllers at once.
