@srvem/app

Srvem (pronounced as "serve 'em") is a super-fast and minimalist asynchronous middleware-oriented TypeScript server framework for Node.js.
This is the core package of Srvem (contains a class used to construct a Srvem app).

Installation

npm install --save @srvem/app

Example

import { Srvem } from '@srvem/app'

// create a Srvem app
const app = new Srvem()

// add middleware like:
app.use(new SrvStatic('public'))

// add your custom handlers like:
app.handle(async (ctx: Context): Promise<void> => {
  // greetings?
  if (ctx.method === 'GET' && ctx.url === '/greet') {
    ctx.statusCode = 200
    ctx.body = 'Hello, world!'
  }
})

// listen on port 3000
app.server.listen(3000)

API
