RESTful rails-style resource routing for koa

Overview

Koa Resource Router is an efficient solution for creating RESTful resource routing in Koa applications. Drawing inspiration from Rails, it simplifies the management of resourceful routes by providing a clear structure that enhances both development speed and code readability. Whether you're building an API or a full-fledged web application, this tool can significantly streamline your routing process.

Features

  • Rails-like Routing: Emulates the intuitive routing approach found in Ruby on Rails, making it easier for developers familiar with Rails to transition into Koa.
  • Multiple Middleware Support: Allows the use of multiple middleware functions for resource actions, enabling a more modular approach to request handling.
  • OPTIONS Requests Handling: Automatically responds to OPTIONS requests by providing the allowed methods for each route, which is vital for CORS compliance.
  • 405 Method Not Allowed: Built-in functionality to return a 405 status when an invalid method is attempted, improving the API’s robustness.
  • Top-Level Resource Mapping: Easily define top-level resources by omitting resource names, simplifying the structure for main application components.
  • Nesting Resources: Supports resource nesting using the resource.add() method, providing a clear hierarchy for related resources.
  • Flexible Action Mapping: Customize action mappings effortlessly, ensuring that your application's specific requirements are met.
