Routers

AutoRouter - itty-router new in v5

*includes error, json, and withParams

AutoRouter is a batteries-included thin-wrapper of Router, with the following behaviors:

• withParams middleware is included by default, upstream of any other before stage handlers.
• json response formatter is included by default. By default, all non-Responses will be converted to JSON. Override by setting the format option.
• error is included by default as catch: error to catch uncaught errors (returning with a generic 500, unless a specific StatusError is thrown).
• A generic 404 will be returned on any un-matched route. This is equivalent to adding router.all('*', () => error(404)) to your routes, and may be overridden using the missing option (below).

Example

import { AutoRouter } from 'itty-router'

const router = AutoRouter()

router
  .get('/json', () => ({ foo: 'bar', array: [1,2,3] }))
  .get('/params/:id', ({ id }) => id)

export default router

AutoRouterOptions

AutoRouter(options?: AutoRouterOptions): RouterType

Name	Type(s)	Default Value	Description
base	string		Prefixes all routes with this string. For example, Router({ base: '/docs' }) would prefix all route matches with /docs.
before v5	Array of RequestHandler	[]	An array of route handlers/middleware to execute on requests before any route-matching
catch v5	ErrorHandler	error	A single error handler to catch any thrown error. This may be used to return a Response, log errors, etc. If thrown during the before stage or route-matching, the finally stage will still be applied after this catch. Conversely, if an error is thrown during the finally stage, this will still fire, but none of the finally stage handlers will be applied to it.
finally v5	Array of ResponseHandler	[]	An array of response handlers to execute on any response after route-matching is complete
format v5	ResponseHandler	json	The default formatter for unformatted responses. This may be replaced (e.g. with text) or set to a no-op () => {} to avoid formatting altogether.
missing v5	RequestHandler	() => error(404)	The default 404 message. To prevent a 404, enter a no-op () => {}.
routes advanced	Array of RouteEntry	[]	Array of manual routes for preloading
...other v4.1+	any		Any other object attributes that don't conflict with methods will be embedded in the final Router object. This is useful for attaching additional information to the router for exporting. For example: Router({ port: 3001 }) could be used to control the port in a Bun setup.
