Wrapper for creating convenience methods for HTTP codes
npm install easy-httpeasy-http is a middleware for express or restify creating convenience methods for HTTP codes.
$ npm install easy-http
easy-http module will return a function for creating the middleware.
var easyHttp = require('easy-http');
app.use(easyHttp());
app.get('/', function(req, res, next){
res.OK();
});
The functions are also usable via the HTTP codes
app.get('/', function(req, res, next){
res[404]();
});
All status codes 300 and up will send a serialized HttpError object as the body of the response.
All status codes are enumerable on the function.
console.log(require('easy-http').OK); //Prints 200
The HttpError object is a custom error object that also holds the HTTP code.
It extends the regular Error object with the following properties
+ body: *Error body
+ statusCode: *HTTP status code
+ httpCode: *HTTP status code
Besides exporting the HttpError object, easy-http also exports the codeToHttpError function,
which creates the HttpError object. The function takes 2 parameters
+ code: *HTTP status code, default 500
+ message: *Error message, default 'Server Internal Error'
You can also configure the easy-http middleware to change the function names or messages or add custom ones.
This is done by invoking the easy-http function with an object
containing information about the functions in the following format:
{
[code]:{
name:[name],
message:[message]
}
}
Where [code] is the HTTP code, [name] is the name the function will be given
and [message] the default message sent.
The following is a JSON description of all the default functions that are created
