Request handler

Request handler is used to handle incoming requests and execute matched routes.

Routejs provide flexible request handler, you can get ready to use request handler or you can setup your own custom request handler.

Routejs app.handler() function return a request handler that accepts req and res as an argument and can be directly used in the node http server.

Example:

// Get request handler
const handler = app.handler();

const server = http.createServer(handler);
server.listen(3000);

In routejs you can manually handle the incoming http requests. Routejs app.handle() function is used to handle the http request.

Defination:

app.handle({
  host,
  method,
  url,
  request,
  response
});

• host is the http host.
• method is the http request method.
• url is the http request url.
• request is the http request object that is passed to all middlewares.

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  // Handle the http requests
  app.handle({
    host: req.host,
    method: req.method,
    url: req.url,
    request: req,
    response: res
  });
});
