Voie was initially created to migrate some old projects to Typescript and a more modern router engine, aiming to be as effortlessly as possible, as well as a personal experience development (also because there was no known good existing package that meets the needs).
For newer projects, I recommend moving to Hono
or Unjs's Nitro
/H3
.
While a fan of Unjs, currently I would prefer Hono
because their documentation covers a lot more things, and their middleware + generics binding + RPC is really good, also things like lambda response stream + compression just work!
Voie (French word for "way/path/lane/route", English for... "Very Opinionated Itinerary Editor"?)
Nah, just a random word I came up for this package, haha.
Voie is a simple router + middleware wrapper/engine for AWS Lambda with the main purpose of making things easier.
- find-my-way: A crazy fast (used by Fastify) HTTP router, internally uses an highly performant Radix Tree (aka compact Prefix Tree), supports route params, wildcards.
-
Clean syntax:
app.route(method, path, handler)
, chainable to add middlewares easily: Example -
Packed to relieve headache:
-
event.route: easy access object that contains:
-
{ method, path, params: postBody+searchParams+parametricRoute, cookies }
- postBody: event.body is automatically parsed and added to params if is object type
- cookies: event.cookies will be parsed to Record type if exists, can be undefined.
-
{ method, path, params: postBody+searchParams+parametricRoute, cookies }
-
response(statusCode, body, options): with support for
compress
-
plugins:
- cors: app.use(cors, { routes: ['/corsEnabledPath/*', 'someAPI'] })
-
event.route: easy access object that contains:
# npm
npm install lambda-voie
# yarn
yarn add lambda-voie
# pnpm (recommended)
pnpm install lambda-voie
// This package exports as ESM only (index.mjs)
import { Voie } from 'lambda-voie'
import {
Voie,
// Built-in cors plugin:
cors,
// Lambda-configured pino-logger:
logger,
} from 'lambda-voie'
const app = new Voie({
// You can pass in your own logger:
// logger: console
})
// Using plugins:
app.use(cors, {
// paths: ['*'] // default enable for all paths
})
// Its actually just a simple wrapper for:
// app.route('OPTIONS', '*')
app.setDefaultRoute((event, context) => app.respone(400, {
message: 'Route not found',
// Voie by default adds a route object to event for easy access: { method, path, params, cookies }
routeInfo: event.route
}))
// You can access the current instance's logger this way
app.logger.info('hi')
// Register the route (GET /test)
app.route('GET', '/test', (event, context) => ({
statusCode: 200,
body: 'Success',
before: event.addedByBefore,
willBeAddedChangedByAfter: 4,
alsoAddedByAnotherBefore: event.addedByBefore2,
}))
.before((event, context) => { event.addedByBefore = 'Hi' })
// Note that in "after" middlewares, when using the app.response() function,
// The res body is already stringified/compressed.
.after((event, context, res) => { res.willBeChangedByAfter = res.willBeChangedByAfter * 4 })
// You can get registered route by calling the same function (omit the handler):
app.route('GET', '/test')
// Registering more middlewares:
.before((event, context) => { event.addedByBefore2 = 'Hi' })
.after((event, context, res) => { res.addedByAfter = 'This wasnt defined' })
// Expected response of GET /test:
// {
// statusCode: 200,
// body: 'Success',
// before: 'Hi',
// willBeChangedByAfter: 160,
// alsoAddedByAnotherBefore: 'Hi',
// addedByAfter: 'This wasnt defined',
// }
// Voie also supports handling trigger events:
app.eventRoute('aws:s3', 'log S3 PutObject', (Record, context) => {
if (Record.eventName === 'ObjectCreated:Put')
logger.info(`S3 Put: ${Record.s3.bucket.name}/${Record.s3.object.key}`)
})
// Export the handler from handle() function and we're ready for Lambda!
export const handler = app.handle()
For advanced use cases, you can extend the class and modify Voie's behavior:
// Override the makeOnHandler to no longer adds route object to event, and instead adds a tracking ID
class MyVoie extends Voie {
makeOnHandler(route: Route) {
return this._lookupTransform(({ method, url, event, context, params, store, searchParams }) => {
// const requestParams = { ...searchParams, ...params }
// event.route = { method, url, params: requestParams }
event._trackingId = '🦄'
return this.routeHandler(route, event, context)
})
}
}
- [x] Refactor autoCors option
(currently we have to both set the autoCors option and register the OPTIONS route with autoCors)
Updated: use the included 'cors' plugin. - [ ] Split the base router class to another repo?
- [ ] Creates a template (boiler-plate) repo
- [ ] Includes some advanced examples
- [x] Make it easy to test routes locally
You could do:
app._lookupShims(fakeEvent(method, path, eventSpread))
- [ ] Find a way to supports?: response streaming
