smera

Simple MongoDB and Express REST API

smera creates a simple REST API with mongoose as default repository, but it accepts add another middlewares and change the controller, the repository or the return messages.

Installation

Run the command:

npm install smera

Example:

var express = require('express');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var Model = require('./model');

var smera = require('smera')();

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/myDb');

var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.use(smera('models', Model));

var server = app.listen(3000, function () {
});

Now you can call:

• GET /models
• GET /models/myResourceId
• POST /models
• PUT /models/myResourceId
• DELETE /models/myResourceId

Options

You can change default smera behavior. Example:

var options = {
    messages: myMessages,
    repository: myRepository,
    controller: myController
};

var smera = require('smera')(options);

Middlewares

You can use another middlewares before call controller. Example:

var smera = require('smera')();
var anotherMiddlewares = {
  all: authentication,
  get: permission,
  getById: [permission, blablabla]
  /*
  create: ...,
  update: ...
  delete: ...
  */
};

app.use(smera('models', Model, anotherMiddlewares));
