Express

Express is a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.

Fetch handler

If you want to use Express with a fetch handler (like on Cloudflare, Netlify or Vercel), you will need to convert the Node handler to a fetch handler. We recommend srvx:

src/handler.ts

import type { ExportedHandler } from "@vite-deploy/netlify";
import express from "express";
import { toFetchHandler } from "srvx/node";

const app = express();

// ...

export default {
  fetch: toFetchHandler(app),
} satisfies ExportedHandler;

Cloudflare support

Some Node APIs are missing in workerd, preventing the use of of this technique. If you know a way, let us know!

Node handler

Express is compatible out of the box with Node handlers:

src/handler.ts

import type { ExportedHandler } from "@vite-deploy/node";
import express from "express";

const app = express();

// ...

export default {
  handler: app,
} satisfies ExportedHandler;
