Sending Data

Sending Data

#Data types

  • Available types: string, number, object(JSON), boolean, bigint

  • Unavailable types: undefined, function, class, etc...

#res.send()

This is the most basic sending method.
It can be used as ctx.send or ctx.response.send.

Typescript
export default [
  GET((ctx) => {
    ctx.send({});
  }),
];

ERROR

ctx.response.end and ctx.response.send are completely different.

ctx.response.end is a function sending data provided by default in nodejs.

#return

Another way to send data is return. Just return the data you want to send!

The return values will be sent through res.send.

Typescript
export default [
  GET(() => {
    return { msg: '👋' };
  }),
];

#response()

You can set more values ​​(like headers) in the response by creating a response instance.

Typescript
import { response } from 'zely';
 
export default [
  GET(() => {
    return response(
      {
        /* data */
      },
      {
        /* headers */
      },
    );
  }),
];

TIP

Example:

Typescript
import { response } from 'zely';
export default [
  GET(() => {
    const res = response(
      { msg: '👋' },
      {
        /*headers*/
      },
    );
    res.body = { msg: '🎉' };
    res.headers = {};
    res.status = 500;
    return res;
  }),
];
