VERY SMALL (7kb) and fast Node.js module for API development written with ES6 features.

Maintenance HitCount npm

Getting Started

A fast and VERY SMALL Node.js framework for API development written with javascript ES6 features.

Prerequisites

  • nodejs 12.x +

Installing

npm install 4crud --save

Testing

This project uses Mocha-Chai combination in /test folder

npm test

or

node test/server.js

and in other cli type:

curl localhost:3000/getroute1?name=john

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"john","password":"abc"}' localhost:3000/postroute1

Features

  • Routing
  • Fast performance (Remember, ES6 have some intrinsic slowdowns but yes, it's fastest as express.js!)
  • Fast implementation on any type of API
  • Very small (just 7 KB!)

Example

const Server = require('../')
const server = new Server()

server
  // curl localhost:3000/getroute1?name=john
  .get('/route1', (req, res) => {
    console.log(`GET on route 1 with name: ${req.search.get('name')}`)
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end(JSON.stringify(req.url))
  })
  .get('/route2', (req, res) => {
    //console.log('GET on route 2')
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end('Hello')
  })
  // curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"john","password":"abc"}' localhost:3000/postroute1
  .post('/route1', (req, res) => {
    console.log(`POST route 1 with name ${req.body.name}`)
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body))
  })
  .post('/route2', (req, res) => {
    console.log('POST on route 2')
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body))
  })
  .put('/route1', (req, res) => {
    console.log('PUT on route 1')
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body))
  })
  .delete('/route2', (req, res) => {
    console.log(`DELETE on route 1 with name ${req.body.name}`)
    res.statusCode = 200
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body))
  })
  .start(3000) // start server at port 3000

Express.js comparison

Bellow the benchmark uses wrk (https://github.com/wg/wrk/wiki/Installing-Wrk-on-Linux)

Run on your preferred CLI on /test folder with server on:

wrk -t8 -c100 -d30s http://localhost:3000/getroute1
