  • Highly customizable
  • Controller nesting (using @Include())

Introduction

DAR (formerly Pterosaur) stands for “Decorator based API Router” and is aimed to be used as a REST API Server, which primarily uses JSON data. It is built to support Deno Deploy.

How To Use

DAR is available via Deno’s Thrid Party Modules.

import { ... } from 'https://deno.land/x/dar/mod.ts';

Create a simple controller class.

@Controller()
class SomeClass {
    // Methods here
}

Create a simple get method.

@Get()
someMethod() {
    return { success: true }
}

Create the application

const app: Application = new Application({
    controller: [SomeClass],
});

And register the handler. We use Deno’s Standard Library

await serve((request: Request) => app.handle(request), { port: 8080 });

And all together

import { ... } from 'https://deno.land/x/dar/mod.ts';

@Controller()
class SomeClass {
    @Get()
    someMethod() {
        return { success: true }
    }
}

const app: Application = new Application({
    controller: [SomeClass],
});

await serve((request: Request) => app.handle(request), { port: 8080 });

Run the example

$ deno run --allow-net https://deno.land/x/dar/examples/basic.ts

Known issues

  • Include decorator not working in Deno Deploy. Need to use controller options to nest controllers!
