express-rest-mongo

Express setup with Mongo that has basic authentication built in with custom User endpoints. Exposes a mongo database as a rest api. Define your server port number, your mongo port number, your mongo database (which is generated dynamically if needed), and custom routes.

const ExpressRestMongo = require("express-rest-mongo");
const app = new ExpressRestMongo.default({
    port: 3000,
    mongoPort: 27017,
    db: "tempDb"
});
   
app.run();

And, voila! You now have an app running on port 3000 with a full fledge database with basic CRUD endpoints setup for any collection you desire!

Supported endpoints:

• */getAll
• */getBy
• */create
• */updateById
• */removeById
• users/signin
• users/signup
• users/updateById

Config options:

• port: The port your express server will run on, default 3000
• db: The MongoDB database you will be reading/writing (required)
• mongoPort: The port of in which mongod is running on, default: 27017
• mongoIp: The ip address of your mongo instance, default: 127.0.0.1
• customRoutes: The custom routes you desire to create
• collections: Array of strings which limits which collections can be read/written to, default: [] To add custom routes, you can define a router and then import it in your config object as customRoutes

Example (with ES6), see the example folder for the code: index.js

import ExpressRestMongo from "../src/express-rest-mongo";

import CustomRoutes from "./custom-routes";

const app = new ExpressRestMongo({
    port: 3000,
    db: "tempDb",
    mongoPort: 27017,
    customRoutes: CustomRoutes
});

app.run();

custom-routes.js

import express from "express";

const CustomRoutes = new express.Router();

CustomRoutes.route("/customers/create").post((req, res) => {
    res.send("This is a custom route!");
});
export default CustomRoutes;

This also supports overriding endpoints as well! So if for some reason you don't like the users/signin or users/signup functionality, you can override it like so.

It's probably a good idea to override users/getAll so that it doesn't give all users to anyone who desires them. By default, all routes are posts, if you want to change that then override the routes
