⚡ Tiny web framework as a replacement of Express
🦕 tinyhttp now has a Deno port (work in progress)
tinyhttp is a modern Express-like web framework written in TypeScript and compiled to native ESM, that uses a bare minimum amount of dependencies trying to avoid legacy hell.
Here is a short list of most important features that tinyhttp has:
Visit tinyhttp website for docs, guides and middleware search.
tinyhttp requires Node.js 12.4.0 or newer. It is recommended to use pnpm, although it isn’t required.
# npm
npm i @tinyhttp/app
# pnpm
pnpm i @tinyhttp/app
# yarn
yarn add @tinyhttp/app
You can see the documentation here.
Create a new project using tinyhttp CLI:
pnpm i -g @tinyhttp/cli
tinyhttp new basic my-app
cd my-app
The app structure is quite similar to Express, except that you need to import App
from @tinyhttp/app
instead of default import from express
.
import { App } from '@tinyhttp/app'
import { logger } from '@tinyhttp/logger'
const app = new App()
app
.use(logger())
.use(function someMiddleware(req, res, next) {
console.log('Did a request')
next()
})
.get('/', (_, res) => {
res.send('<h1>Hello World</h1>')
})
.get('/page/:page/', (req, res) => {
res.status(200).send(`You just opened ${req.params.page}`)
})
.listen(3000)
