Using Compact Mode with Aex v0.18.0

Traditionally we handle http request with a callback have parameters named:
request, response, next or something.
In Aex, we use :

req, res, scope

where scope is a data carrier for the request.

The following is the traditional http handler in aex:

class User {
@http("get", "/user/login")
public async login(req, res, scope) {
}
}

in aex v0.18.0, we introduced the compact mode, where we can use only one variable if others are not needed.

Here is the compact mode http handler in aex:

class User {
@http("get", "/user/login", true)
public async login(context) {
  const {req, res, scope} = context;
  const res = context.res;
}

@compact("get", "/user/login")
public async compact(context) {
  const {req, res, scope} = context;
  const res = context.res;
}
}

It wraps all variables into one context object.

So you can choose a tidy one for your programs for certain development stages.

You can start with compact mode then to the traditional mode or traditional mode to compact mode.

You can try it with :

npm install github:calidion/aex#v0.18.0
