Controllers

The controllers are the components designated to handle the incoming requests and to return responses to the client.

Routing

The @Controller() decorator is required together with the route argument (/test) in order to define a controller. The @Get() decorator is the handler for a specific endpoint of the controller. Its argument is defining the final route /test/hellow-world

@Controller('/test')
export class TestController {
  constructor() {
  }
  
  @Get('/hello-world')
  async helloWorld() {
    return { test: 'hello world' };
  }
}

Of course, the framework give access to all the standard methods as well:

• @Get()
• @Post()
• @Put()
• @Patch()
• @Delete()

Decorators to intercept directly the content of the response and the request are available:
