A simple middleware that returns the availability of the API and related services.

Use it in your express app:

const app = require('express')();
const statusMonitor = require('@sparkit-gmbh/express-health-check');

// Default
app.use(statusMonitor());

// With DB Monitor (Mongoose / Sequelize / IORedis)

// With Custom URL Path
app.use(status({ path: '/api/status', db: true }));

// respond with "hello world" when a GET request is made to the homepage
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send('hello world');
});

app.listen(3000, function () {
    console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!')
});
