Router Connectors

The Router subsystem provides HTTP routing and API endpoint management.

Available Connectors

ExpressRouter

Role: Express.js-based HTTP router
Summary: Provides HTTP routing using Express.js framework with middleware support, route handling, and API management.

Example Configuration:

import { SRE } from '@smythos/sre';
import express from 'express';

const router = express.Router();

SRE.init({
    Router: {
        Connector: 'ExpressRouter',
        Settings: {
            router: router,
            baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
        },
    },
});
Copy

Use Cases:

• HTTP API endpoints
• Express.js applications
• RESTful services
• Middleware integration
• Route management

NullRouter

Role: No-operation router connector
Summary: Provides a null implementation that discards all routing operations. Used when HTTP routing is not needed.

Example Configuration:

import { SRE } from '@smythos/sre';

SRE.init({
    Router: {
        Connector: 'NullRouter',
        Settings: {},
    },
});
Copy

Use Cases:

• Applications without HTTP endpoints
• Testing environments
• CLI applications
• Background services
• Development with external routing

How it Works:

• All routing operations are logged and ignored
• Provides a base URL of http://nullrouter.local
• No actual HTTP server is started
• Useful for disabling HTTP functionality
