A universal library for converting server-side functions into ES Modules.
HTTP-Modular is a compact RPC library that unlocks the full potential of BFF (Back end for FrontEnd) capabilities.
Gone are the days of cumbersome code like this:
// server-side
app.post('/save', async (context) => {
......
const data = await getData(context);
const result = await db.save(data);
context.body = result;
});// in browser
...
const res = await fetch('https://<server.url>:<port>/save', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(data),
headers: {
...
}
);
const result = await res.json();
...Embrace the future of coding with modular capabilities:
// server-side
...
async function save(data) {
......
return await db.save(data);
}
app.all('/action', modular({save, list, delete}, config.koa));// in browser
import {save, list, delete} from 'https://<server.url>:<port>/action';
...
const result = await save(data); // done!
