The simplest and easiest way to create a CometJS application is by using our command-line interface tool.

Controllers Creation

You have two methods to create a controller. The fastest way is by using our CLI tools by running the comet make:controller <name> command in your terminal. All the controllers created using this command are stored in the /controllers directory. You can also create your controllers manually by following the same structure as the example below.

import { BaseController, Controller, Get, Request, Response, json } from "cometjs";

@Controller("users")
export class UserController extends BaseController {

  @Get("users.show", "/[id]", { id: /^\\d+$/ })
  show(request: Request, response: Response): void {
    return json(UserService.get(request.parameters.id));
  }

  @Get("users.list", "/list")
  list(request: Request, response: Response): void {
    return json(UserService.all());
  }

}
