Body

Returning a body can be done using return inside a handler. You may also set the body to the ctx.body prop.

Text

You can return simple text using the TextBody class. The optional second argument is the content type:

const { TextBody } = require("routex");

app.get("/", () => {
  return new TextBody("Hello world!");
});

app.get("/html", (ctx) => {
  ctx.body = new TextBody(
    "<html><body><h1>Hello world!</h1></body></html>",
    "text/html"
  );
});

JSON

You can return JSON using the JsonBody class. The optional second argument is the JSON options:

const { JsonBody } = require("routex");

app.get("/", () => {
  return new JsonBody({ hello: "world" });
});

app.get("/pretty", () => {
  return new JsonBody({ hello: "world" }, { pretty: true });
});

Custom

You can create your own body type by implementing the Body interface:

class TestBody {
  constructor() {
    this.body = "test";
    this.contentType = "text/plain";
  }

  toBuffer = () => {
    return Buffer.from(this.body, "utf8");
  };

  toString = () => this.body;
}

app.get("/", (ctx) => {
  return new TestBody();
});

import { IBody } from "routex";

class TestBody implements IBody {
  readonly body = "test";
  readonly contentType = "text/plain";

  toBuffer = () => {
    return Buffer.from(this.body, "utf8");
  };

  toString = () => this.body;
}

app.get("/", (ctx) => {
  return new TestBody();
});
