tinyhttp
π¦ 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:
-
β‘ 2x faster than Express -
β Full Express middleware support -
βͺ Async middleware support -
β Native ESM and CommonJS support -
π No legacy dependencies, just the JavaScript itself -
π¨ Types out of the box -
π₯ Prebuilt middleware for modern Node.js
Visit tinyhttp website for docs, guides and middleware search.
Install
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
Docs
You can see the documentation here.
Get Started
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)
