Node.js framework to create REST API with express and mongoose models
# NPM
npm install coral --saveCreating Routes
pass path and mongoose models as configuration to Coral to generate routes
var app = express();
//define mongoose schema
var ProductSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});
//create the mongoose model
var Product = mongoose.model('Product', ProductSchema);
//Coral will return the express router with REST routes
var productRouter = new Coral({
path: '/product',
model: Product
});
//use the Coral router in express app
app.use(productRouter);Above Coral router will generate the following routes
/product - get
/product/:id - get
/product - post
/product/:id - put
/product/:id - delete
Following get parameters are supported to get sorted data and pagination
skip, limit, order, sort and page
In the skip, limit or page by default per page 10 records are returned this can be change through perPage option
var productRoutes = new Coral({
path: '/product',
model: Product,
perPage: 50
});
In some cases routes specific to some methods are needed like only want to provide user read, create and update functionality without delete this can be done by specifying methods option
var productRoutes = new Coral({
path: '/product',
model: Product,
methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT']
});
Above coral route method will only generate the following routes without delete
/product - get
/product/:id - get
/product?skip=10&limit=10 - get (limited records)
/product?sort=name&order=asc&page=1 - get (pagination with sorting)
/product - post
/product/:id - put
Following options are supported to create specific methods routes
GET, POST, PUT and DELETE
