portal

Fast and simple routing with the URLPattern interface for Deno

Example

import {
  errorFallback,
  Portal,
  serveStatic,
} from "https://deno.land/x/portal/mod.ts";

const app = new Portal({ start: 0 });

app.use((ctx) => {
  const start = Date.now();
  ctx.state.start = start;
});

app.get(
  "/:hello",
  (ctx) =>
    new Response(`Hello ${ctx.urlPatternResult.pathname.groups["hello"]}`),
);

app.get("*", serveStatic(new URL("./static", import.meta.url).pathname));

app.use((ctx) => {
  const ms = Date.now() - ctx.state.start;
  ctx.response.headers.set("X-Response-Time", `${ms}ms`);
});

app.catch(errorFallback);

app.finally((ctx) => {
  const rt = ctx.response.headers.get("X-Response-Time");
  console.log(`${ctx.request.method} ${ctx.url.pathname} - ${String(rt)}`);
});

console.log("Listening on http://0.0.0.0:8080");
await app.listen({ port: 8080 });

API

Types

Context

The Context is accessible inside the Handlers as only argument.

Handlers

Receives a Context object and returns a Response object or undefined.

Class

Portal

Faciliates routing powered by the URLPattern interface.

add

Creates routing functions.

const getAndPost = app.add("GET", "POST");
getAndPost("/getorpost/*", (ctx) => new Response("Hello"));

get, post, delete, connect…

Takes a pathname and one or multiple Handlers. It applies the Handlers to the named HTTP method and the specified route.

app.get("*", (ctx) => new Response("Hello"));

use

Adds one or multiple Handlers (middlewares) to all methods and routes.

app.use((ctx) => {
  const start = Date.now();
  ctx.state.start = start;
});

catch

The passed Handlers will be executed when an exception has been thrown.

app.catch((ctx) => new Response("Something went wrong", { status: 500 }));

finally

The passed Handlers will be executed after all other Handlers.

app.finally((ctx) => {
  const rt = ctx.response.headers.get("X-Response-Time");
  console.log(`${ctx.request.method} ${ctx.url.pathname} - ${String(rt)}`);
});

listen

Constructs a server, creates a listener on the given address, accepts incoming connections, upgrades them to TLS, and handles requests.

await app.listen({ port: 8080 });
