A lightweight (stupid) solution to save beta forms.

Installation

npm install beta-middleware --save

Integration as route

var beta = require('beta-middleware');

app.get('/beta/beta.js', beta.provideClientAPI());

app.post('/beta/:type', beta.route(function(data, callback) {
    mongoose.save(data, callback);
}));

| Option | Default value | Description | |---|---|---| | saveHeaders | true | Includes req.headers into the persistent information. | | saveCookies | false | Includes req.cookies into the persistent information. | | saveSignedCookies | false | Includes req.signedCookies into the persistent information. | | saveSession | false | Includes req.session into the persistent information. |

Integration as middleware

var beta = require('beta-middleware');

app.get('/beta/beta.js', beta.provideClientAPI());

app.post('/beta/:type', beta.middleware(function(data, callback) {
   mongoose.save(data, callback);
}), function(req, res) {
    res.render('registration_successful');
});

Additional options (+ save options from above):

| Option | Default value | Description | |---|---|---| | successLocation | - | Redirect URL when information are saved successfully.If defined the Location will set with status code 201. Status 201 without any data will be returned otherwise. | | errorLocation | - | Redirect URL when an error occurred.If defined the Location will set with status code 301. Next middleware will be called with an error otherwise. |

Full REST service based on Express

var express = require('express'),
	mongoose = require('mongoose'),
	beta = require('beta-middleware/integration/express-mongoose');

app.use('/beta', beta(express, mongoose, {
    readSecret:   'sWZGTh7GiCXTuE3qJHmz5B3tNDwdV3Fb',  // replace this
    deleteSecret: 'MNI2kToBnuIhjFk26IvVBrz83UFnfzcw'   // secret keys!
}));

| Route | Status code | |---|---| | POST /beta | 201 when successful301 when an error occurs | | GET /beta[?filter]filter example: ?query.abtesting=42 | 200 when successful, json array401 when unauthorized403 when secret doesn't match500 for other errors | | GET /beta/:id | 200 when successful, json object401 when unauthorized403 when secret doesn't match404 if id could not be found500 for other errors | | DELETE /beta/:id | 204 when successful deleted401 when unauthorized403 when secret doesn't match404 if id could not be found500 for other errors |
