Basic Example

A simple example demonstrating Vegaa's core features.

Code​

import { vegaa, route } from 'vegaa'

// Simple route
route('/ping').get(() => {
  return { message: 'pong' }
})

// Route with parameters
route('/users/:id').get((id) => {
  return { userId: id, name: `User ${id}` }
})

// Start server
async function main() {
  await vegaa.startVegaaServer({ port: 4000 })
  console.log('✅ Server running on http://localhost:4000')
}

main().catch(err => {
  console.error('💥 Server failed:', err)
  process.exit(1)
})

Try It​

What's Happening​

  1. Simple Route - /ping returns a JSON response
  2. Route Parameters - /users/:id extracts the id parameter automatically
  3. Server Start - startVegaaServer() starts the server on port 4000

Test It​

# Start the server
node basic.js

# Test the endpoints
curl http://localhost:4000/ping
# {"message":"pong"}

curl http://localhost:4000/users/123
# {"userId":"123","name":"User 123"}

Key Concepts​

  • Automatic Parameter Injection - id is automatically extracted from the route
  • JSON Responses - Just return an object, Vegaa handles the rest
  • Simple API - No req/res boilerplate
