Node.js - api.get()

Register an API route and set a specific HTTP GET handler on that route.

This method is a convenient short version of api().route().get()

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';

api('public').get('/customers', (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the GET: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
});

Parameters

match required string

The path matcher to use for the route. Matchers accept path parameters in the form of a colon prefixed string. The string provided will be used as that path parameter's name when calling middleware and handlers. See create a route with path params

middleware required HttpMiddleware | HttpMiddleware[]

One or more middleware functions to use as the handler for HTTP requests. Handlers can be sync or async

opts optional object

Additional options when creating method.

Examples

Register a handler for GET requests

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';

api('public').get('/customers', (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the GET: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
});

Chain functions as a single method handler

When multiple functions 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 getAllCustomers = (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the GET: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
};

api('public').get('/customers', [validate, getAllCustomers]);
