Installation

This package is distributed via NPM which is bundled with Node and should be installed as one of your project's dependencies:

npm install --save @webstronauts/mercury

Usage

Your application can be as simple as:

// app.js
module.exports = function(app, options, next) {
  app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send({hello: 'world'})
  })

  next()
}

If you are using Node 8+, you can use async functions too:

// async-await-plugin.js
module.exports = async function(app, options) {
  app.get('/', async function(req, res) {
    res.send({hello: 'world'})
  })
}

Then you can start your application with;

mercury start plugin.js

Inspiration

We're not re-inventing the wheel here. The inspiration for this framework comes from a couple of other awesome projects;
