Examples

Register a handler for POST requests

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

const PARAM_ID = 'customerId'

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers`)

customerRoute.post((ctx) => {
  // handle the POST request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
})

Chain services as a single method handler

When multiple services are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'
import { validate } from '../middleware'

const postCustomer = (ctx) => {
  // handle the POST request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
}

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers`)

customerRoute.post([validate, postCustomer])

Access the request body

The POST request body is accessible from the ctx.req object.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers`)

customerRoute.post((ctx) => {
  const customerData = ctx.req.data
  // parse, validate and store the request payload...
})
