Node.js - api.get()

Register an API route and set a specific HTTP GET handler on that route.

This method is a convenient short version of api().route().get()

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

api('public').get('/customers', (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the GET: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
})

Examples

Register a handler for GET requests

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'

api('public').get('/customers', (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the GET: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
})

Chain services as a single method handler

When multiple services are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.

import { api } from '@nitric/sdk'
import { validate } from '../middleware'

const getAllCustomers = (ctx) => {
  // construct response for the GET: /customers request...
  const responseBody = {}
  ctx.res.json(responseBody)
}

api('public').get('/customers', [validate, getAllCustomers])
