Handlers

In Nexios, all route handlers must be async functions. These handlers receive a Request object and return a Response, dict, str, or other supported types.

💡Tip

Every Nexios handler must be async def; it’s triggered by a route and returns a value that becomes the response.

Example

from nexios import NexiosApp

app = NexiosApp()

@app.get("/")  
async def index(request, response): 
    return "Hello, world!"

⚠️ Warning

Nexios Handler must take at least two arguments: request and response.

The request and response objects are provided by Nexios and contain information about the incoming request and the outgoing response.

💡Tip

User type annotation for more IDE support .


from nexios.http import Request, Response

@app.get("/")  
async def index(request: Request, response: Response): 
    return "Hello, world!"

For more information, see Request and Response

You can also use handler with Routes class

from nexios.routing import Routes
from nexios import NexiosApp
app = NexiosApp()

async def dynamic_handler(req, res):
    return "Hello, world!"

app.add_route(Routes("/dynamic", dynamic_handler))  # Handles All Methods by default
