Oftentimes, especially when running an event, I have to create ad-hoc endpoints that returns some data that I can send it to teammate, so that they can access live data they need without me having to give them the whole API credentials.
Example use case
At one event, my friend wants to run a lucky draw, so I created an endpoint that provides access to the attendee list, filtered only those who have checked in and only including the basic information.
With Bun, I can easily do this.
Bun.serve({
port: 44401,
async fetch(req) {
const pathname = new URL(req.url).pathname
// Protect the endpoint with a secret path.
// Replace this path by mashing your keyboard.
if (pathname === '/qg67238hfew9jdiosnuehr78gj9fiwomjrht') {
// Load data here and put it in `out`
const out = []
return new Response(JSON.stringify(out, null, 2), {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
},
})
}
return new Response('nope', {
status: 404,
})
},
})
console.log('hi')Then run it with:
bun --watch adhoc.ts
