Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

baucis

NPM

Build scalable REST APIs using the open source tools and standards you and your team already know — Mongoose, Express, and Node.js streams. Baucis takes the boilerplate out of building and maintaining scalable HATEOAS/Level 3 REST APIs.

Baucis is used in production by startups, departments, and Fortune 500 companies, and at hackathons and conferences worldwide. MongoDB, Inc. awarded baucis first place in their 2014 Open Source Hack Contest.

Baucis is easy for beginners, easy to scale, yet flexible enough in the long term to be extended to solve complex use cases.

Features

  • Automatically build controllers from your Mongoose schemata, then easily configure them.
  • Built on Express 4 so adding custom middleware is a snap. Compatible with existing Express middleware.
  • Fully takes advantage of Node.js streaming to nimbly process large datasets.
  • Implements the HTTP specification according to the specifications (RFC 7231, etc.)
  • Widely compatible with a variety of front end frameworks.
  • Perform rich queries of the API using an expressive JSON syntax via query string.
  • Supports geo-location and full text search.
  • Version your API using semver.
  • Automatically generate interactive Swagger documentation for the API.
  • Highly customizable, simple interface. Can be extended with plugins (decorators).
  • Compatible with MongoDB 2.x and 3.x
  • Over 140 Mocha.js tests in addition to Express' and Mongoose's.

Getting Started

To install:

npm install --save baucis

It's easy to create an API from a Mongoose model:

// Create a mongoose schema.
var Vegetable = new mongoose.Schema({ name: String });
// Register new models with mongoose.
mongoose.model('vegetable', Vegetable);
// Create a simple controller.  By default these HTTP methods
// are activated: HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
baucis.rest('vegetable');
// Create the app and listen for API requests
var app = express();
app.use('/api', baucis());
app.listen(8012);

That's it! Now you have an RFC-compliant, flexible, and semantically rich API dealing with vegetables. You could access it with URLs like http://localhost:8012/api/vegetables. CRUD is supported using GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE.
