Features

routing

Routing with Aries as simple as writing comments. You just put variable name in curvy braces and put it as a parametr in your constructor. Aries dynamically assigns the value to variable.

/**
 *@RequestMapping(value="/twitter/{userId}") 
 */
HalloWorldController.prototype.twitterUser = function(request, response, userId){
	//we can use userId here
	//ex. response.end("Hi "+ userId);
};

asynchronous

Every request comes through a chain of functions to pass request to the next function you need to call this.doNext method along with request and response.

/**
 *@RequestMapping(value="/twitter/tweets") 
 */
HalloWorldController.prototype.twitterFeed = function(request, response, twitId){
	//you can pass flow to view resolver asynchronously
	this.doNext(request, response);				
};

smart binding

Aries provides some magic that allow to get post and get params inside controller by just declaring those as a parameter for controller function

/**
 *@RequestMapping(value="/twitter/tweets") 
 */
HalloWorldController.prototype.twitterFeed = function(request, response, twitId){
	//you can use twitId here if it is passed as POST or GET parameter
	//ex. response.end("Hi "+ twitId);
};

middleware

Standard request flow goes through following chain:

filters->controller resolver->pre controller interceptors->controller->post controller interceptors->view resolver which gives us flexibility of using middleware as filters, pre and post controller interceptors. For example we can use connect's static middleware to handle static content as a filter which is the best to handle before controller resolver. To assign class as filter we just need to put Filter annotation before constructor.
