# Cloudflare Workers Router

Cloudflare Workers Router is a super lightweight router (1.0K gzipped) with middleware support and **ZERO dependencies** for [Cloudflare Workers](https://workers.cloudflare.com/).

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.

## Features

- ZERO dependencies
- Lightweight (1.0K gzipped)
- Fully written in TypeScript
- Integrated Debug-Mode & CORS helper
- Built specifically around Middlewares


## Usage

Migrating from `v2.x.x`, check out the [Migration Guide](MIGRATION.md).

### TypeScript Example

```typescript
import { Router } from '@tsndr/cloudflare-worker-router'

// Env Types
export type Var<T = string> = T
export type Secret<T = string> = T

export type Env = {
    // Example binding to KV. Learn more at https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/kv/
    // MY_KV_NAMESPACE: KVNamespace
    //
    // Example binding to Durable Object. Learn more at https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/durable-objects/
    // MY_DURABLE_OBJECT: DurableObjectNamespace
    //
    // Example binding to R2. Learn more at https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/r2/
    // MY_BUCKET: R2Bucket

    ENVIRONMENT: Var<'dev' | 'prod'>

    SECRET_TOKEN: Secret
}

// Request Extension
export type ExtReq = {
    userId?: number
}

// Context Extension
export type ExtCtx = {
    //sentry?: Toucan
}

// Initialize Router
const router = new Router<Env, ExtCtx, ExtReq>()

// Enabling build in CORS support
router.cors()

// Register global middleware
router.use(({ env, req }) => {
    // Intercept if token doesn't match
    if (req.headers.get('authorization') !== env.SECRET_TOKEN)
        return new Response(null, { status: 401 })
})

// Simple get
router.get('/user', () => {
    return Response.json({
        id: 1,
        name: 'John Doe'
    })
})

// Post route with url parameter
router.post('/user/:id', ({ req }) => {

    const userId = req.params.id

    // Do stuff

    if (!true) {
        return Response.json({
            error: 'Error doing stuff!'
        }, { status: 400 })
    }

    return Response.json({ userId }, { status: 204 })
})

// Delete route using a middleware
router.delete('/user/:id', ({ env, req }) => {
    if (req.headers.get('authorization') === env.SECRET_TOKEN)
        return new Response(null, { status: 401 })

}, ({ req }) => {

  const userId = req.params.id

  // Do stuff...

  return Response.json({ userId })
})

// Listen Cloudflare Workers Fetch Event
export default {
    async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
        return router.handle(request, env, ctx)
    }
}

```

## Reference

### `router.debug([state = true])`

Enable or disable debug mode. Which will return the `error.stack` in case of an exception instead of and empty `500` response. Debug mode is disabled by default.


#### `state`
State is a `boolean` which determines if debug mode should be enabled or not (default: `true`)

Key                    | Type      | Default Value
---------------------- | --------- | -------------
`state`                | `boolean` | `true`


### `router.use([...handlers])`

Register a global middleware handler.


#### `handler(ctx)`

Handler is a `function` which will be called for every request.


#### `ctx`

Object containing `env`, [`req`](#req-object)


### `router.cors([config])`

If enabled will overwrite other `OPTIONS` requests.


#### `config` (object, optional)

Key                        | Type       | Default Value
-------------------------- | ---------- | -------------
`allowOrigin`              | `string`   | `*`
`allowMethods`             | `string`   | `*`
`allowHeaders`             | `string`   | `*`
`allowCredentials`         | `boolean`  | `undefined`
`vary`                     | `string`   | `undefined`
`maxAge`                   | `integer`  | `86400`
`optionsSuccessStatus`     | `integer`  | `204`


### Supported Methods

- `router.any(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])`


#### `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 [`ctx`](#ctx-object) passed into them.


### `ctx`-Object

Key       | Type                | Description
--------- | ------------------- | -----------
`env`     | `object`            | Environment
`req`     | `req`-Object        | Request Object
`ctx`     | `ctx`-Object        | Cloudflare's `ctx`-Object


### `req`-Object

Key       | Type                | Description
--------- | ------------------- | -----------
`body`    | `object` / `string` | Only available if method is `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` or `DELETE`. Contains either the received body string or a parsed object if valid JSON was sent.
`headers` | `Headers`           | Request [Headers Object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Headers)
`method`  | `string`            | HTTP request method
