wrapper.express

Monadic wrapper over Express web framework.

Example

var Future  = require('data.future')
var Express = require('wrapper.express')(require('express'))
 
var routes = [
  Express.get('/:name', function(req) {
    return new Future(function(reject, resolve) {
      resolve(Express.send('Hello, ' + req.params.name))
    })
  })
]
 
var app = Express.create(routes)
 
Express.listen(8080, app).fork(
  function (error){ throw error }
, function (addr) { console.log('Running on http://localhost:' + addr.port) }
)

Or with Sweet.js macros:

var Express = require('wrapper.express')(require('express'));
 
var routes = $routes(Express) {
  get('/:name'): {params:{ name }} => $do {
    html <- Future.of('Hello, ' + name)
    return Express.send(html)
  }
}
