# Cloudflare Workers Router
Cloudflare Workers Router is a super lightweight router (3.6 kB) with middleware support and ZERO dependencies for CloudFlare Workers, inspired by the express.js syntax.
When I was trying out Cloudflare Workers I almost immediately noticed how fast it was compared to other serverless offerings. So I wanted to build a full fledged API to see how it performs doing real work, but since I wasn't able to find a router that suited my needs I created my own.

## Usage
### Simple Example
```javascript
const Router = require('@tsndr/cloudflare-worker-router')
const router = new Router()
// Enabling buildin CORS support
router.cors()
// Simple get
router.get('/user', (req, res) => {
res.body = {
data: {
id: 1,
name: 'John Doe'
}
}
})
// Post route with url parameter
router.post('/user/:id', (req, res) => {
const userId = req.params.id
// Do stuff...
if (errorDoingStuff) {
res.status = 400
res.body = {
error: 'User did stupid stuff!'
}
return
}
res.status = 204
})
// Delete route using a middleware
router.delete('/user/:id', (req, res, next) => {
if (!apiTokenIsCorrect) {
res.status = 401
return
}
await next()
}, (req, res) => {
const userId = req.params.id
// Do stuff...
})
// Listen Cloudflare Workers Fetch Event
addEventListener('fetch', event => {
event.respondWith(router.handle(event))
})
```
## Reference
### `router.cors([config])`
If enabled will overwrite other `OPTIONS` requests.
#### `config` (object, optional)
Key | Type | Default Value
---------------------- | --------- | -------------
`allowOrigin` | `string` | `*`
`allowMethods` | `string` | `*`
`allowHeaders` | `string` | `*`
`maxAge` | `integer` | `86400`
`optionsSuccessStatus` | `integer` | `204`
### `router.any(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.connect(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.delete(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.get(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.head(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.options(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.patch(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.post(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.put(url, [...handlers])`
### `router.trace(url, [...handlers])`
#### `url` (string)
The URL starting with a `/`.
Supports the use of dynamic parameters, prefixed with a `:` (i.e. `/user/:userId/edit`) which will be available through the [`req`-Object](#req-object) (i.e. `req.params.userId`).
#### `handlers` (function, optional)
An unlimited number of functions getting [`req`](#req-object) and [`res`](#res-object) passed into them.
### `req`-Object
Key | Type | Description
--------- | ------------------- | -----------
`body` | `object` / `string` | Only available if method is `POST`, `PUT` or `PATCH`. Contains either the received body string or a parsed object if valid JSON was sent.
`headers` | `object` | Object containing request headers
`method` | `string` | HTTP request method
`params` | `object` | Object containing all parameters defined in the url string
### `res`-Object
Key | Type | Description
--------- | ------------------- | -----------
`body` | `object` / `string` | Either set an `object` (will be converted to JSON) or a string
`headers` | `object` | Object you can set response headers in
`status` | `integer` | Return status code (default: `204`)
## Setup
### Wrangler
You can use [wrangler](https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler) to generate a new Cloudflare Workers project based on this router by running the following command from your terminal:
```
wrangler generate myapp https://github.com/tsndr/cloudflare-worker-router-template
```
Before publishing your code you need to edit `wrangler.toml` file and add your Cloudflare `account_id` - more information about publishing your code can be found [in the documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/getting-started).
Once you are ready, you can publish your code by running the following command:
```
wrangler publish
```
You can also test it loacally by running the following command:
```
wrangler dev
```
### npm
If you already have a wrangler project you can install the router like this:
```
npm i @tsndr/cloudflare-worker-router
```
### Serverless
To deploy using serverless add a [`serverless.yml`](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/cloudflare/) file.
