koapp-controller

A base class for grouping related request handlers in @axiosleo/koapp, a Node.js framework for building web and network servers. It also provides shared methods for sending responses, errors, and logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build controller classes, return successful or failed JSON responses, send raw results, set response details, report errors, and add conditional debug logs.
Why use it?
It keeps handlers for the same part of an application together and lets them share state and response behavior.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

koapp-controller scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

@axiosleo/koapp Controller

Source: src/controller.js.

Controller is a thin base class that mirrors the response helpers as instance methods. Extend it to keep related handlers together and share auxiliary state.

Import

const { Controller } = require('@axiosleo/koapp');

Instance API

Method Equivalent function Notes
this.success(data?, headers?) success(data, headers) 200 OK JSON envelope
this.failed(data?, code?, status?, headers?) failed(data, code, status, headers) Non-2xx JSON envelope
this.result(data, status?, headers?) result(data, status, headers) Raw body pass-through
this.response(data, code, status?, headers?) response(data, code, status, headers) Full control envelope
this.error(status, msg, headers?) error(status, msg, headers) Shortcut error envelope
this.log(...data) debug.log from @axiosleo/cli-tool Conditional logging

All this.success / failed / result / response / error throw, same as the functional helpers. See koapp-response for envelope details.

Basic usage

const { Controller, Router } = require('@axiosleo/koapp');

class HealthController extends Controller {
  async ping(context) {
    this.log('ping from', context.request_id);
    this.success({ pong: true });
  }

  async version() {
    this.success({ version: require('../package.json').version });
  }
}

const health = new HealthController();
const router = new Router('/health');
router.get('/ping', (ctx) => health.ping(ctx));
router.get('/version', () => health.version());

Why use Controller over plain functions?

  • Shared state: load DB handles, caches, or config once in the constructor and reuse across methods.
  • Inheritance: define a BaseController with common middlewares or helpers, then extend it per module (the init scaffolding template at assets/tmpl/services/src/modules/controller.ts.tmpl does this).
  • Testability: easier to mock a controller instance than free-floating functions.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

koapp-controller is a skill published in the GitHub repository AxiosLeo/node-koapp (129 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,249 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
