javascript

Jooby is available in JavaScript via Nashorn.

hello world

var app = jooby();

app.get('/', function () 'Hey Jooby!');

jooby function

The jooby function always returns a new application:

var app = jooby();

or pass a function to jooby:

jooby(function () {

  this.get('/', function () 'Hey Jooby!');

})();

Another minor but useful feature is the: import of classes and packages when you go with the functional version:

jooby(function (Jackson) {

  use(new Jackson());

  this.get('/', function () 'Hey Jooby!');

})(org.jooby.json.Jackson);

Or import an entire package:

jooby(function (Jackson) {

  use(new Jackson());

  this.get('/', function () 'Hey Jooby!');

})(org.jooby.json);

Import of packages is done via: importPackage function from in nashorn:mozilla_compat.js.

routes

Routes work as in Java, but it is worth to mention what are the available alternatives at the time you need to write a route in JavaScript:

jooby(function () {

  // returns a constant value, using Function expression closures
  this.get('/', function () 'Hey Jooby!');

  // returns a constant value
  this.get('/', function () {
    return 'Hey Jooby!';
  });

  // returns a value but access to request object
  this.get('/', function (req) {
    var x = require(X)
    return x.doSomething();
  });

  // access to request and rsp (like in express.js)
  this.get('/', function (req, rsp) {
    rsp.send('Hey Jooby!');
  });

  // access to request and rsp
  this.get('/', function (req, rsp, chain) {
    chain.next();
  });

})();

running a javascript app

• via maven: mvn jooby:run
• java: java org.jooby.Jooby. The app.js file must be present in the app directory
