How to do have the same endpoints for multiple methods ?

[JonathanCabezas]

Hello,

I've read the whole documentation and searched through issues/discussions but I can't find an example of this.

The documentation says we can have the same endpoint handle multiple methods:

Multiple schemas for one route

Thanks to the DependsOnMethod class a route may have multiple Endpoints attached depending on different methods. It can also be the same Endpoint that handles multiple methods as well.

import { DependsOnMethod } from "express-zod-api";

// the route /v1/user has two Endpoints
// which handle a couple of methods each
const routing: Routing = {
  v1: {
    user: new DependsOnMethod({
      get: yourEndpointA,
      delete: yourEndpointA,
      post: yourEndpointB,
      patch: yourEndpointB,
    }),
  },
};

However I have no idea how such an endpoint would look like, could you please provide examples for the get/delete and post/patch endpoint sharing above ?

Thank you for your framework, I find it extremely well designed and helpful to structure my project !

The documentation says we can have the same endpoint handle multiple methods:

yes, you can, @JonathanCabezas ,
all you need to make it possible is to set methods property with an array of ones when you do factory.build() (instead of method).

const yourEndpoint = yourFactory.build({
  methods: ["get", "delete"],
  /** other stuff and your implementation */
});

And then you can assign that endpoint both to get and delete prop of DependsOnMethod::constructor as in your original request. The handler of that endpoint will handle both methods of the same requested path. I hope it helps.

First of all, thank you for your quick answer.

I think my question was unclear, as I already know what you answered.

My question is, how to you discriminate between the 2 method in your handler ?

[RobinTail]

The original idea of endpoint handling multiple methods is more suitable for the cases when the method does not matter.
But if it does, such an endpoint should use a middleware that returns request.method, which will come into options of that endpoint. See Middlewares in docs, @JonathanCabezas

Thank you, that's understood !
