class oak.Router
import { oak } from "https://deno.land/x/hex@0.5.15/src/service/deps.ts";
const { Router } = oak;

An interface for registering middleware that will run when certain HTTP methods and paths are requested, as well as provides a way to parameterize parts of the requested path.

Basic example

import { Application, Router } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";

const router = new Router();
router.get("/", (ctx, next) => {
  // handle the GET endpoint here
});
router.all("/item/:item", (ctx, next) => {
  // called for all HTTP verbs/requests
  ctx.params.item; // contains the value of `:item` from the parsed URL
});

const app = new Application();
app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

app.listen({ port: 8080 });

Methods

all<R extends string, P extends RouteParams<R> = RouteParams<R>, S extends State = RS>(
name: string,
path: R,
middleware: RouterMiddleware<R, P, S>,
...middlewares: RouterMiddleware<R, P, S>[],
): Router<S extends RS ? S : (S & RS)>

Register named middleware for the specified routes when the DELETE, GET, POST, or PUT method is requested.

all<R extends string, P extends RouteParams<R> = RouteParams<R>, S extends State = RS>(
path: R,
middleware: RouterMiddleware<R, P, S>,
...middlewares: RouterMiddleware<R, P, S>[],
): Router<S extends RS ? S : (S & RS)>

Register middleware for the specified routes when the DELETE, GET, POST, or PUT method is requested.

all<P extends RouteParams<string>, S extends State = RS>(
nameOrPath: string,
pathOrMiddleware: string | RouterMiddleware<string, P, S>,
...middleware: RouterMiddleware<string, P, S>[],
): Router<S extends RS ? S : (S & RS)>

Register middleware for the specified routes when the DELETE, GET, POST, or PUT method is requested with explicit path parameters.

Middleware that handles requests for HTTP methods registered with the router. If none of the routes handle a method, then "not allowed" logic will be used. If a method is supported by some routes, but not the particular matched router, then "not implemented" will be returned.

The middleware will also automatically handle the OPTIONS method, responding with a 200 OK when the Allowed header sent to the allowed methods for a given route.

By default, a "not allowed" request will respond with a 405 Not Allowed and a "not implemented" will respond with a 501 Not Implemented. Setting the option .throw to true will cause the middleware to throw an HTTPError instead of setting the response status. The error can be overridden by providing a .notImplemented or .notAllowed method in the options, of which the value will be returned will be thrown instead of the HTTP error.

import { Application, Router } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";

const app = new Application();
const router = new Router();

// register routes

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());
