Members

NameTypeData type/return typeDescription
disableAutoImplementpropertybooleanPrevents automatic implementation of this route (as producing 501) even when the configuration option autoImplementAllAPIs is set to true (which is its default value in papupata 2.x). This is can be useful when there are a few routes that must be implemented in other ways for whatever reason.
validationBehaviorpropertyValidationBehavior

Can be used to override the validation behavior configured to be the default for all APIs. Papupata's own default is to throw upon validation failure, though an API declaration can be configured with a different default as well. A route-specific behavior can be used with this field.

The valid values are ValidationBehavior.THROW (which is the default descibed above) and ValidationBehavior.REROUTE which simply ignores the route if the parameters are not valid.

ValidationBehavior can be imported from papupata/config

Examples

import {APIDeclaration} from 'papupata'
const api = new APIDeclaration()

const MyAPI = api.declareDeleteAPI('/api/person')
  .response<string>()
