Webroute is a set of building blocks which can combine to form a fully fledged web framework. Each tool is decoupled from the next, meaning they are all independently useful. But they can also be stacked, leaving you with a strong foundation for quickly building backend web apps that are future-proofed.
View the documentation.
import { route } from "@webroute/route";
export const myRoute = route("/post/:id")
.method("get")
.use(isAuthed())
.params(z.object({ id: z.string() }))
.handle(async (req, c) => {
const { params } = await c.parse();
// ...
return { title: "..." };
});
// myRoute: (req: Request) => ResponseTo get up and running quickly with a fully-fledged app, you can use the create-webroute-app command:
npx create-webroute-app ./my-appWebroute is not a framework. Modern web apps are deployed to a range of different environments, runtimes and architectures. Webroute provides a handful of independent libraries to help with common tasks like routing, route handling, middleware and client-side type-safety.
Webroute was designed to get out of your way and to be minimally opinionated. We prefer requiring slightly more additional setup if it means much greater flexibility – and less lock-in – for the lifetime of an app.
Webroute provides several packages that are entirely independent of one another. Combined, they can be used to create fully-fledged REST APIs.
They will work with any framework or runtime that utilises web-standard Request and Response objects.
| Package | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Route | Build powereful and atomic web-standard request handlers |
| Client | Create type-safe clients for any REST API |
| Middleware | Middleware compatible with any framework |
| Schema | Universal converters, parsers and infererence for any schema |
| Router | Match incoming Requests to request handlers |
| OpenAPI Spec (OAS) | Define, generate and infer OpenAPI schema without any codegen |
Webroute was built from the ground up to be friendly with most existing tools. It can be used standalone or alongside existing frameworks, and in various runtimes.
