Hyper Project

Experimental web framework for node.js

Project status

I work on this as hobby project. This is not production ready. If you are looking for web framework I recommend fastify.js or hapi.js

Why

• no external dependacies
• native ESM support
• support for async/await
• support for http2
• clean code and testable
• great performance
• first class typescript support

import {
  Server, 
  BodyParser, 
  Router, 
  RequestLogger
} from "@hyper/http-server";

const server = new Server({port: 3000});

const bodyParser = new BodyParser();
const requestLogger = new RequestLogger();
const router = new Router();
server.addLayer(bodyParser);

router.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.json({
    message: "Hello World", 
    body: req.body,
  });
});
router.post("/echo", (req, res) => {
  res.json({
    body: req.body,
  });
});
server.addLayer(requestLogger);
server.addRouter(router);

server
  .listen()
  .then((address) => {
    logger.info(`Server started on ${address.address}:${address.port}`);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log("Failed to start", error); 
  });

What is implemented

• middleware system simmilar to express
• simple router
• body parser
• isomorphic json logger
• isomorphic http client
• request logging middleware
• mock request and response

What is missing

• compresssion
• cookie parser
• documentation
• request schema validation
• etag/freshness and caching support
