Deserve

Build HTTP server effortlessly with zero configuration for productivity.

Installation

Note

Prerequisites: Deno 2.8.3 or later.

# Add Deserve from JSR
deno add jsr:@neabyte/deserve

See the installation guide for details.

Quick Start

Create a routes directory and export HTTP method handlers. Start the server.

import { Router } from '@neabyte/deserve'

// Create router pointing at routes directory
const router = new Router({ routes: { directory: './routes' } })

// Optional worker pool for CPU-bound work
// const router = new Router({
//   routes: { directory: './routes' },
//   worker: { scriptURL: import.meta.resolve('./worker.ts'), poolSize: 4 }
// })
// Read handle: ctx.get.worker()

// Start server on port 8000
await router.serve(8000)

Example route in routes/hello.ts:

import type { Context } from '@neabyte/deserve'

// Export GET, POST, PUT, path from file location
export function GET(ctx: Context): Response {
  return ctx.send.json({ message: 'Hello from Deserve' })
}
