Opinionated wrapper around express

Opinionated wrapper around express, which adds in validation via strummer and documentation via swagger

Getting started

npm install @luxuryescapes/router

or

yarn add @luxuryescapes/router
const express = require('express')
const s = require('@luxuryescapes/strummer')
const { router } = require('@luxuryescapes/router')

const server = express()

// tags, paths, definitions get added from the route definitions
// everything else is provided here

}

const routerInstance = router(server, {

  appEnv: process.ENV.APP_ENV, // optional, used to specify the env in Sentry, defaults to "unknown"

  sanitizeKeys: [/_token$/, /password/i, "someHideousKey", "path.with.dot"], // array of keys or paths to sanitize from the request body, query and params on error
})

// define routes

  logRequests: true, // true = request and response will be logged DEFAULT: false,
  correlationIdExtractor: (req, res) => { return req.params.id }, // for use when logRequests is TRUE, this will be used to extract the correlationid from the request/response for use in the log output DEFAULT: null

// this is the endpoint that the swagger ui will be served on

// you don't have to use our error handler if you want a custom one
routerInstance.useErrorHandler()
server.listen()

Sentry Support

To automatically send unhandled exceptions to Sentry, two steps are required:

  1. Install @sentry/node in to your application using npm or yarn.
  2. Pass sentryDSN and appEnv when building the router (shown above).
  3. Use the provided error handler useErrorHandler, or create your own that calls Sentry's handleErrors function. Make sure to put this after you've defined your routes.

Writing controllers

All handlers in the route definition are wrapped inside an async handler so there is no need to worry about calling next, or catching exceptions

const controller = async (req, res) => {
  const response = await updateSomeDatabase(req.body)
  res.json({
    status: 200,
    message: null,
    result: response
  })
}

If you want to return something that isn't a successful response, you can easily do this by throwing a error

const { errors } = require('@luxuryescapes/router')

const controller = async (req, res) => {
  if (req.params.id === 1) {
    throw new errors.UnprocessableEntityError('1 is not a valid id')
  }
  const response = await updateSomeDatabase(req.body)
  res.json({
    status: 200,
    message: null,
    result: response
  })
}

// this will manifest as
// {
//   "status": 422,
//   "message": "1 is not a valid id",
//   "errors": ["1 is not a valid id]
// }

If you want to initialize Sentry for background jobs

const { initializeSentry } = require('@luxuryescapes/router')
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/node";

initializeSentry({
  appEnv: 'staging',
  sentryDSN: 'FIND_ME_IN_SENTRY'
})

try {
  ...
} catch(err) {
  Sentry.captureException(err);
}

NOTE: Only a limited amount of http error codes have been mapped so far, if the need for any arise we can easily add them

Documentation

Use serveSwagger to define the endpoint you wish to serve your docs at This will serve a swagger ui html page, with the swagger definition that is generated from your routes You can optionally pass middleware via the swagger config preHandlers e.g. to secure access to swagger

The raw json is also served if you defined your docs endpoint as routerInstance.serveSwagger('/docs') You can access the raw json at /docs/swagger.json

If you want the raw swagger json definition you can use toSwagger

TypeScript

If you use Strummer schemas to validate your endpoints, you can use the generateTypes CLI command to auto-generate TypeScript types.

For example if your router was in src/router.ts, and you wanted to output the contract to src/api/contract/server.ts, you would do:

yarn routerGenerateTypes src/router.ts src/api/contract/server.ts

Your router file must export a mount function that takes an Express server and returns a RouterAbstraction. In short, it's a function that uses @luxuryescapes/router to set up your endpoints.

Profit

Now, anytime you run yarn routerGenerateTypes the types will be regenerated for you to use in your controllers.

An example of the contract usage is:

import { Handler } from '@luxuryescapes/router';
import { operations } from '../../contract/server';

export const index: Handler<operations, 'exampleIndex'> = (req, res) => {
  res.json({ hello: 'world' });
};

Upgrade Guides

Upgrading from v1 to v2

Where you instantiate your router, remove the swagger property:

swaggerBaseProperties: {
  swagger: "2.0",
  info: { ... }
  ...

to

swaggerBaseProperties: {
  info: { ... }
  ...

Upgrading to v1

The use of Node's crypto module means that versions below v15.6.0 and v14.17.0 are no longer supported. Upgrade your Node version to an appropriate version.
