Gland

Gland is a lightweight and extensible web server framework for Node.js. It provides a flexible and modular approach to building web applications, including support for middleware, routing, logging, and SQL query execution.

Features

• Modular Configuration: Load and configure modules dynamically.
• Middleware Support: Easily add and manage middleware functions.
• Routing: Define routes using decorators for different HTTP methods.

Installation

You can install @medishn/gland via npm:

npm install @medishn/gland

Basic Usage

To get started with @medishn/gland, follow these steps:

1. Create a Basic Server

   import path from 'path';
   import gland from '@medishn/gland';
   
   const g = new gland();
   g.load(path.join(__dirname, '.confmodule'));
   g.init(3000, () => {
     console.log('Server running on port 3000');
   });

2. Define Routes and Handlers Create a .confmodule file to configure your routes, caching, and file-watching behavior. This file allows you to dynamically load and configure modules in your application. Below is an example configuration file:

path = path.join(__dirname, 'router');
router {
    [0]: 'index.ts';
    [1]: 'test.ts';
}
cache = true;
watch = true;

3. Create Router:(/router/example.ts)

   import { Context, Get, Route } from '@medishn/gland';
   
   @Route('/')
   export class Test {
     @Get()
     test(ctx: Context) {
       ctx.write('hello world');
       ctx.end();
     }
   }

Middleware

You can add middleware functions to your Gland instance:

import gland, { Context,NxtFunction } from '@medishn/gland';

const g = new gland();

const myMiddleware = async (ctx: Context, next: NxtFunction) => {
  // Middleware logic here
  await next();
};

g.use(myMiddleware);

Routing

Define routes using decorators:

import { Context, Get, Post, Route } from '@medishn/gland';

@Route('/example')
export class Example {
  @Get()
  getExample(ctx: Context) {
    ctx.write('GET request');
    ctx.end();
  }

  @Post()
  postExample(ctx: Context) {
    ctx.write('POST request');
    ctx.end();
  }
}
