Getting Started

Here's a simple example of setting up EdgeMaster in a Cloudflare Worker module:

import {
  EdgeController,
  RouteHandler,
  Task,
  routePattern,
  initResponse
} from 'edge-master';

// Cloudflare Worker
export default {
  async fetch(req) {
    return EdgeApp.handleRequest({ req });
  },
}

const EdgeApp = new EdgeController();

EdgeApp.addRoute(
  routePattern('*/users/profile/*'),
  new RouteHandler().registerTask(new Task({
    do: async ({ req }) => {
      const tempRes = await fetch(req);
      // some transform on response
      return new Response(tempRes.body, {
        ...tempRes,
        headers: {
          ...tempRes.headers,
          'My-Res-Status': 'transformed'
        }
      });
    }
  }))
);

EdgeApp.addRoute(
  routePattern('*'),
  new RouteHandler().registerTask(initResponse())
);

Routing

EdgeMaster streamlines routing in your application with built-in route matchers, and we're continually adding more. If your project requires custom, intricate route matching, you can easily implement it with the flexibility our framework offers. At EdgeMaster, we aim to make complex route matching straightforward and accessible for developers.

import {
  EdgeController,
  routePattern, // You can use wildcards and optional segments to create flexible route patterns.
  pathStartWith,
  urlStartWith,
} from 'edge-master';

const App = new EdgeController();

App.addRoute(routePattern('*/user/*/info'), {/** RouteHandler of UserInfo  */});

App.addRoute(pathStartWith('/api/v2/user'), {/** RouteHandler of User  */});

App.addRoute(urlStartWith('https://origin.com/api/v2/user'), {/** RouteHandler of User  */});

// This handler will be executed when none of the other registered routes don't match the request.
App.addRoute(() => true, {/** RouteHandler of Default or Non-matching routes */});

Custom Route Matcher

EdgeMaster allows you to define your own route matcher.

type Matcher = (req: Request) => boolean;

const onlyGetMethod = (matcher: Matcher): Matcher => {
  return (req) => (req.method === "GET" && matcher(req))
}

App.addRoute(
  onlyGetMethod(routePattern('*/some/*/wildcard')),
  {/** RouteHandler */ }
);

Interceptors

EdgeMaster provides a convenient way to intercept incoming requests and outgoing responses using interceptors. Interceptors can be used for tasks such as authentication, logging, and response modification.

Request Interceptors

Request interceptors are executed before your route handlers, allowing you to modify the incoming request.

const authenticationInterceptor = {
  type: InterceptorType.Request,
  async intercept(context) {
    // Check authentication and modify the request if needed
    const { reqCtx: { req }, responder } = context;
    if (/** req is ok*/)
      return req;
    else
      // responder will break all next steps and respond instnatly the request.
      responder(new Response('Not Authenticated', { status: 401 }))
  },
};

router.addInterceptor(authenticationInterceptor);

Response Interceptors

Response interceptors are executed after your route handlers, enabling you to modify the response before it's sent back to the client.

const loggingInterceptor = {
  type: InterceptorType.Response,
  async intercept(context) {
    // Log the response or make changes before sending it
    const { res } = context;
    // ...
    return res;
  },
};

router.addInterceptor(loggingInterceptor);
