Express Adapter ​

This is the official adapter for express and neru, you can find the code for that at packages/adapter-express

Feature Support ​

Creating your project ​

Neru CLI ​

The quickest way to get started with Neru is using the Neru CLI. This CLI has an option for the Express adapter!

Manually ​

Please read the guide here to find out how to use neru on a new/existing project manually.

Here is an example what your project's main file might look like:

import { adapter } from '@nerujs/express';
import express from 'express';
import { neru } from 'neru';

const server = express();

await neru({
    server,
    adapter,
    routes: 'src/routes',
});

server.listen(4000, () => {
    console.log('Online on http://localhost:4000');
});

You will need the following packages:

npm install express neru @nerujs/express

Routes ​

Before you read how to make routes using the express adapter make sure you read how route files work in neru.

The express adapter exports the route function and we recommend you use this for type safety, though it's not required.

Type Safe ​

import { route } from '@nerujs/express';

export const GET = route((req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World');
});

Basic ​

export const GET = (req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World');
};

Typing Manually ​

If you want to be type safe but not use the provided tools, here is how you can do that:

/** @type {import('express').RequestHandler} */
export const GET = (req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World')
}
