# Description

EndpointMetadata contains metadata about a controller and his method. Each annotation (@Get, @Body...) attached to a method are stored in a endpoint. EndpointMetadata convert this metadata to an array which contain arguments to call an Express method.

Example :

@Controller("/my-path") provide MyClass {

   @Get("/")
   @Authenticated()
   public myMethod(){}

}

# Members

beforeMiddlewares: any[]
middlewares: any[]
afterMiddlewares: any[]
pathsMethods: IPathMethod[]

Route strategy.

readonly responses: Map<number, IResponseOptions>
statusCode: number
readonly parent: EndpointMetadata | undefined

Endpoint inherited from parent class.

get type(): Type<any>
set type(type: Type<any>)
get methodClassName(): string
get store(): Store
get params(): import("./ParamMetadata").ParamMetadata[]
get response(): IResponseOptions
get(key: any): any

Find the a value at the controller level. Let this value be extended or overridden by the endpoint itself.

statusResponse(code: string | number): IResponseOptions

Change the type and the collection type from the status code.

before(args: any[]): this
after(args: any[]): this
merge(args: any[]): this

Store all arguments collected via Annotation.
