Server Routes - Ream Documentation

Ream allows you to build your API alongside regular Vue pages by having files like **/*.json.{js,ts}, api/**/*.{js,ts} in routes folder and export a request handler as follows:

// routes/api/hello.js
export default (req, res) => {
  res.end(`hello`)
}

Now visit /api/hello and you'll see hello.

The request handler receives the following parameters:

req: An instance of http.IncomingMessage,
res: An instance of http.ServerResponse, plus some helper functions you can see here

Response Helpers

The response (res) includes a set of Express.js-like methods to improve the developer experience and increase the speed of creating new API endpoints, take a look at the following example:

The included helpers are:

res.status(code) - A function to set the status code. code must be a valid HTTP status code
res.send(body) - Sends the HTTP response. body can be a string, an object, a NodeJS.ReadableStream or a Buffer.
