Express

Use the Express utility when Zelavis should live inside an existing Express application.

Basic usage

import express from "express";
import { Zelavis } from "zelavis";
import { nodeAdapter } from "zelavis/adapters/node";
import { expressMiddleware } from "zelavis/express";

const app = express();
const zelavis = new Zelavis({
  adapter: nodeAdapter(),
});

app.use(express.json());
app.use(expressMiddleware(zelavis));

app.listen(3000);

API

expressMiddleware(zelavis: Zelavis): RequestHandler

Takes a Zelavis instance, returns an Express middleware that lazy-initializes the runtime on first request.

Good fit

Existing Express apps
Apps that already own middleware ordering
Cases where Zelavis should share one process with custom routes

Notes

Register any app-specific Express middleware before expressMiddleware(zelavis) when those routes should see parsed request bodies or custom headers first.
Zelavis still serves the dashboard under its configured rootPath, for example /zelavis.
The Express app can keep its own routes outside the Zelavis namespace.
