Getting Started

exhandlers is a comprehensive collection of middleware and handler functions designed to streamline backend development in Express.js. It provides pre-built utilities for handling databases, WebSocket connections, AMQP connections, logging, and various other essential middleware functionalities.

By integrating exhandlers, developers can eliminate the need to write common handlers from scratch, thereby reducing development overhead and ensuring a cleaner, more maintainable codebase.

Available Handlers​

Core Middleware​

  • Asynchronous Handler – Simplifies error handling in async functions.
  • Authentication Handler – Manages authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  • CORS Handler – Configures Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies.
  • Error Handler – Centralized error handling middleware.
  • Not Found Handler – Handles 404 (Not Found) errors.
  • Logs Handler – Structured logging for application monitoring.
  • Rate Limiting Handler – Protects APIs from excessive requests.
  • Password Handler – Utility functions for password hashing and validation.
  • Token Handler – Utility function for password hashing and validation.

Database Handlers​

  • MongoDB Handler – Provides a streamlined connection and query interface for MongoDB.
  • PostgreSQL Handler – Manages PostgreSQL database connections and queries.
  • Redis Handler – Integrates Redis for caching and session management.

Additional Handlers​

  • Upload Handler – Manages file uploads efficiently.
  • Socket Handler – Handles WebSocket connections for real-time data exchange.
  • AMQP Handler – Facilitates message queue communication using AMQP (e.g., RabbitMQ).
