Express-route-listing

Express-route-listing is a minimal, lightweight, route logger package to log or write (Or Both) express APIs in a file, which helps in documenting the stuff for newer people who will/are contributing their efforts to your repo.

Express-route-listing currently helps in logging PARAMS , METHODS , MIDDLEWARE AND PATH.

It has option to printToConsole or writeToFile. To Show routes info in console. Or show them into as md table in Route.md ( in the directory where package.json is present )

Example :

Using this package in ES6 module  

import AccquireRoute from "./index.mjs" 
const OPTIONS = { 
	printToConsole : BOOLEAN (default true ), 
	writeToFile : BOOLEAN (default false ) 
} 
AccquireRoute(app , { 
		OPTIONS 
		}) 

Using this package in CommonJs Module ( require dynamic importing )

const modulePath = PATH
const OPTIONS = {
	printToConsole : BOOLEAN, // (default true )
	writeToFile : BOOLEAN // (default false )
}
import(modulePath).then(routeLog => {
	routeLog.AccquireRoute(app , OPTIONS)
		})

Test Case Example

app.route('/')
    .get((req, res) => {
            res.end()
    })
    .all((req, res) => {
            res.end()
    })
    .post((req, res) => {
            res.end()
    })

app.route('/testing')
    	.all((req, res) => {
            res.end()
    	})
    	.delete((req, res) => {
            	res.end()
    	})
app.route('/testing')
    	.all((req, res) => {
            	res.end()
    	})
    	.delete((req, res) => {
            	res.end()
        })

router.route('/')
    	.get((req, res) => {
            	res.end()
    	})
    	.all((req, res) => {
            	res.end()
    	})
    	.post((req, res) => {
            	res.end()
    	})

function mid(req, res, next ){
    next()
}

function mid1(req, res, next)
{
    	next()
}

function mid2(req,res ,next)
{
    	next()
}
app.get('/testing1/:id?something ', mid , mid1 , mid2 , (req,res,next)=>{
    	console.log("this is a working example for query and params")
})

Output in console

[
 {
    path: '/',
    middleware: [],
    methods: [ 'GET', '_ALL', 'POST' ],
    params: [],
    query: []
  },
  {
    path: '/testing',
    middleware: [],
    methods: [ '_ALL', 'DELETE' ],
    params: [],
    query: []
  },
  {
    path: '/testing',
    middleware: [],
    methods: [ '_ALL', 'DELETE' ],
    params: [],
    query: []
  },
  {
    path: '/testing1/:id?somthing ',
    middleware: [ { name: 'mid' }, { name: 'mid1' }, { name: 'mid2' } ],
    methods: [ 'GET' ],
    params: [ { name: 'id' } ],
    query: [ { name: 'somthing ' } ]
  }
]

Output in Route.md
