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)
})

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 services as a single method handler

When multiple services 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.
})
