Sift

Sift is a routing and utility library for Deno and Deno Deploy.

Usage

The documentation below briefly explains the common usage of the functions. You can visit deno doc site to learn more about the API.

deno run -A script.ts

`serve()`

serve() is the routing function. It accepts an object literal with path strings as keys and their corresponding route handlers as values. The path string is processed using URLPattern and when the requested path matches the provided pattern, the corresponding handler is invoked.

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

serve({
  "/": () => new Response("hello world"),
  "/blog/:slug": (request, connInfo, params) => {
    const post = `Hello, you visited ${params.slug}!`;
    return new Response(post);
  },
  // The route handler of 404 will be invoked when a route handler
  // for the requested path is not found.
  404: () => new Response("not found"),
});

`serveStatic()`

Serve static files relative to your source code.

Note: Your project should have a git repository linked when using Deno Deploy.

By default, up to 20 static assets that are less than 10MB are cached. You can disable caching by setting cache: false in the options object.

If you're serving a directory, it is required that the path string end with :filename+ as serveStatic uses this param to construct the absolute URL to the requested resource.

import { serve, serveStatic } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

serve({
  // You can serve a single file.
  "/": serveStatic("public/index.html", { baseUrl: import.meta.url }),
  // Or a directory of files.
  "/:filename+": serveStatic("public", { baseUrl: import.meta.url }),
  // You can modify the fetched response before returning to the request
  // by using the intervene option.
  "/style.css": serveStatic("style.css", {
    baseUrl: import.meta.url,
    // The intervene function is called after the resource is
    // fetched from the source URL. The original request and the
    // fetched response are passed as arguments and a response
    // is expected from the function.
    intervene: (request, response) => {
      // Do some processing to the response.
      return response;
    },
  }),
});

`json()`

Converts an object literal to a JSON string and creates a Response instance with application/json as the content-type.

import { json, serve } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

serve({
  "/": () => json({ message: "hello world" }),
  "api/create": () => json({ message: "created" }, { status: 201 }),
});

`jsx()`

Renders JSX components to HTML string and creates a Response instance with text/html as the content-type.

When using this function, it is important that your file extension is .jsx or .tsx for Deno Deploy to transform you code and you've the h function imported.

/** @jsx h */
import { h, jsx, serve } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <h1>Hello world!</h1>
  </div>
);

const NotFound = () => (
  <div>
    <h1>Page not found</h1>
  </div>
);

serve({
  "/": () => jsx(<App />),
  404: () => jsx(<NotFound />, { status: 404 }),
});
