Adonis Scaffold

Application scaffolding in AdonisJS is a technique that allows the developer to define and create a basic application that can create, retrieve, update and delete objects. Basically CRUD (create, Read, Update, Delete) data operations are common in most of the applications.

Controllers

Example from Controller extending ScaffoldController:

"use strict";

const ScaffoldController = use("ScaffoldController");
const model = use("App/Models/User");

class UserController extends ScaffoldController {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.resource = {
      model
    };
  }
}

module.exports = UserController;

Models

Example from Model extending ScaffoldModel: The model need two functions required static get hidden()and static get visible().

"use strict";

const ScaffoldModel = use("ScaffoldModel");

class User extends ScaffoldModel {
  static get hidden() {
    return ["id", "password", "created_at", "updated_at"];
  }
  static get visible() {
    return ["username", "email", "password"];
  }
}
module.exports = User;

Relationship

For relationship the function static get with() is required. Example:

static get with(){
    return ['tokens']
}

Query override

Example:

async index(request) {
  this.data = await this.resource.model.first();
  return super.index(request);
}
