Basic Usage

Learn the fundamentals of using Axiom Genesis.

Creating a Simple Application​

Here's a basic example to get you started:

import { AxiomGenesis, Server } from 'axiom-genesis';

const app = new AxiomGenesis();
const server = new Server(app);

// Define a route
app.get('/api/hello', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello, World!' });
});

// Start the server
server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
});

Handling Requests​

GET Request​

app.get('/api/users', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ users: [] });
});

POST Request​

app.post('/api/users', (req, res) => {
  const user = req.body;
  res.json({ id: 1, ...user });
});

Error Handling​

app.get('/api/error', (req, res) => {
  res.error(new Error('Something went wrong'));
});

Middleware​

You can add middleware to process requests:

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`${req.method} ${req.path}`);
  next();
});

Configuration​

Configure your application using the configuration file created during setup. See the Configuration Guide for details.
