Node.js - api.route.all()

Register a single handler for all HTTP Methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) on the route.

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

const customersRoute = api('public').route('/customers');

customersRoute.all((ctx) => {
  // construct a response for all incoming HTTP requests
  const responseBody = {};
  ctx.res.json(responseBody);
});

Parameters

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.

Notes

When using the all() method to register a single function as the handler for all HTTP methods, none of the other methods should be defined on that route.

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

const customersRoute = api('public').route('/customers');

customersRoute.all((ctx) => {
  /* handle all requests */
});

// Don't call `get()`, `post()`, etc., they're already handled by `all()`
customersRoute.get((ctx) => {
  /* this handler won't work */
});

Examples

Register a method handler function

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

const customersRoute = api('public').route('/customers');

customersRoute.all((ctx) => {
  // construct a response for all incoming HTTP requests
  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 customersRoute = api('public').route('/customers');

const customersHandler = (ctx) => {};

customersRoute.all([validate, customersHandler]);

Access the request body

For methods that include a request body, such as POST and PUT, you can access the body from the ctx.req object.

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

const customersRoute = api('public').route('/customers');

customersRoute.all((ctx) => {
  const customerData = ctx.req.data;
  // parse, validate and store the request payload if it's available.
});
