Providers ​

When making HTTP requests, we leverage existing frameworks to avoid common mistakes and take advantage of their main functionality, such as path and query parameters.

To prevent repetitive code duplication across different frameworks, we have developed a set of providers. These providers help minimize the amount of copy-pasted code and promote code reusability.

Switch ​

You can easily switch between providers by setting the provider option in the createApp function.

ts
import { createApp } from 'nixle';
import { yourProvider } from '@nixle/provider-name';

createApp({
  provider: yourProvider(),
});

Accessing the Framework ​

Each provider returns an instance of the framework it is built for. This means that you can continue using the framework as usual. For example, if you are using Express, you can add plugins, middlewares, or routes just like you normally would.

TIP

Use it only when Nixle does not provide the functionality you need.

ts
import express from 'express';
import cors from 'cors';
import { createApp } from 'nixle';
import { expressProvider } from '@nixle/express';

const expressApp = express();

expressApp.use(cors());

const { app } = createApp({
  provider: expressProvider(expressApp),
});

// Not recommended
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ users: [] });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});
