App

Primate app is a very special beast.

Primate is a library for creating APIs quickly, leveraging the power of Express and Prisma. This documentation provides an overview of the features used in the example code.

Features

  1. Express Integration: Primate is built on Express, a fast and minimalist web framework for Node.js, which simplifies the creation and handling of HTTP requests.

  2. Body Parsing: The library uses body-parser and Express's built-in JSON parser to handle incoming request bodies, making it easy to work with JSON payloads.

  3. CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing): With cors middleware, Primate enables secure cross-origin requests and data sharing between different domains.

  4. Helmet for Security: helmet middleware is used to enhance the security of the APIs by setting various HTTP headers.

  5. HTTP Request Logging: morgan is integrated to log HTTP requests in a standard format, aiding in debugging and monitoring API usage.

  6. Custom Response Method: A custom respond method is added to the response object to standardize API responses, ensuring consistency and ease of use.
