Perseus

A micro-framework for Node.js named after the destroyer of Medusa who was conceived in the golden showers of Zeus himself.

To install:

npm install perseus

To create an app:

var perseus = require('perseus');
 
perseus.view = 'views'; //Template directory
perseus.public = 'public'; //Public assets directory
 
perseus.get('/', function(req, res) {
  perseus.make("index.html", { name: "Andromeda" });
});
 
perseus.post('/', function(req, res) {
  console.log(req.query); //req.query contains parsed querystring
});
 
perseus.listen(); //Defaults to 3000

What it does so far:

• Handles GET and POST requests
• To send plain text - perseus.send('Hello world!');
• To render template - perseus.make('index', object);
• Utilizes nunjucks templating engine - read documentation here
• To set template folder (optional: defaults to views folder in root of web directory) - perseus.view ='directoryName'
• To set public folder (optional: defaults to public folder in root of web directory) - perseus.public = 'directoryName'
