zealot

Server as a function for Node.js

What?

Zealot is a layer on top of http making it a stream, where values are of type Result (aka Either). This means all requests are manipulated with a stream processing mindset, while errors are not treated as exceptions – but expected outcomes.

Routing

Goals

• Truly functional
• Clear, hackable code
• API focused
• As safe as JS can be without transpiler crap

Motivation

• http standard lib is too low level
• connect & express have a very ad-hoc API, rely on in-place updates of requests and responses, has many arbitrary arity functions, and lots of backward compatibility code;
• follow more or less the "your server as a function" architecture;
• rely on the best tools out there

Install

yarn add zealot-core

Status

Extremely experimental.
