express-restify-nedb-simple

Easily create a simple express REST interface for nedb models.

Getting started

npm install express-restify-nedb-simple --save

Usage

This snippet…

const app = express()
const router = express.Router()
const usersModel = new Datastore('path/to/users.db')

app.use(bodyParser.json())
restify.serve(router, usersModel)

app.use('/api', router)

…automatically generates these endpoints:

GET http://localhost/api/users/count
GET http://localhost/api/users
POST http://localhost/api/users

GET http://localhost/api/users/:id
PUT http://localhost/api/users/:id
DELETE http://localhost/api/users/:id

the default response is a JSON:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {}
}

You can add a custom response by adding a third parametter:

restify.serve(router, usersModel, (data) => {myResponse: data})

Case errors, will pass by the error with next()
