Effect Platform - Demystifying HttpRouter
Dive into *Effect Platform’s HTTP Functional Router Architecture* and discover how routing is designed in the `@effect/platform` ecosystem.
In this video, we break down the *HttpRouter* (Functional Router) and its role as a core building block for building scalable, type-safe HTTP APIs with Effect.
What you’ll learn:
**Fundamentals of HttpRouter**: How routes are collected, matched, and transformed into executable HTTP apps.
**Defining and composing routes**: Using fluent functions (`get`, `post`, `put`, `patch`, `del`, `all`, etc.) to create expressive endpoints.
**Mounting applications**: Integrating other routers and apps with `mount` and `mountApp`.
**Context & data extraction**: Accessing request data through `RouteContext`, `params`, and schema-based decoding with `Effect/Schema`.
**Middleware & error handling**: Applying cross-cutting logic and handling errors using functional combinators (`catchAll`, `catchTag`, etc.).
**Configuration flexibility**: Managing router behavior via `RouterConfig` and scoped configuration layers.
Whether you’re building **modern functional APIs**, learning how Effect handles **typed HTTP routing**, or just curious about **middleware and error handling in a functional style**, this video will give you a complete overview.
