8-Nodejs Course 2023: Updating Router Layer
Hasan Zohdy
Posted on October 29, 2022
So what we did in our last article is creating a Router layer over Fastify to manage routes, let's continue with that.
Singleton and Encapsulation
We imported our router object in the index like this:
import Router from './router';
const router = Router.getInstance();
We can do a simple step to make it easier to import the router without having to get the getInstance each time.
import { Route } from "./types";
export class Router {
/**
* Routes list
*/
private routes: Route[] = [];
/**
* Router Instance
*/
private static instance: Router;
/**
* Get router instance
*/
public static getInstance() {
if (!Router.instance) {
Router.instance = new Router();
}
return Router.instance;
}
private constructor() {
//
}
/**
* Add get request method
*
* // Method chaining
*/
public get(path: string, handler: any) {
this.routes.push({
method: "GET",
path,
handler,
});
return this;
}
/**
* Register routes to the server
*/
public scan(server: any) {
this.routes.forEach(route => {
const requestMethod = route.method.toLowerCase();
const requestMethodFunction = server[requestMethod].bind(server);
requestMethodFunction(route.path, route.handler);
});
}
}
// 👇🏻 we will create it internally here
const router = Router.getInstance();
// 👇🏻 now we export it directly
export default router;
Adding more methods
We will add more methods to our router, we will add post, put, delete and patch methods.
import { Route } from "./types";
export class Router {
/**
* Routes list
*/
private routes: Route[] = [];
/**
* Router Instance
*/
private static instance: Router;
/**
* Get router instance
*/
public static getInstance() {
if (!Router.instance) {
Router.instance = new Router();
}
return Router.instance;
}
private constructor() {
//
}
/**
* Add get request method
*/
public get(path: string, handler: any) {
this.routes.push({
method: "GET",
path,
handler,
});
return this;
}
/**
* Add post request method
*/
public post(path: string, handler: any) {
this.routes.push({
method: "POST",
path,
handler,
});
return this;
}
/**
* Add put request method
*/
public put(path: string, handler: any) {
this.routes.push({
method: "PUT",
path,
handler,
});
return this;
}
/**
* Add delete request method
*/
public delete(path: string, handler: any) {
this.routes.push({
method: "DELETE",
path,
handler,
});
return this;
}
/**
* Add patch request method
*/
public patch(path: string, handler: any) {
this.routes.push({
method: "PATCH",
path,
handler,
});
return this;
}
/**
* Register routes to the server
*/
public scan(server: any) {
this.routes.forEach(route => {
const requestMethod = route.method.toLowerCase();
const requestMethodFunction = server[requestMethod].bind(server);
requestMethodFunction(route.path, route.handler);
});
}
}
const router = Router.getInstance();
export default router;
Nothing new here, just added the same code for each method.
Getting all routes list
We will add a method to get all routes list, we can use it in debugging or testing.
import { Route } from "./types";
// ...
/**
* Get all routes list
*/
public list() {
return this.routes;
}
And that's it, we are now ready to add any route we want to our server, also we can get it from anywhere in our code.
