Fortune JSON API Serializer

This is a JSON API serializer for Fortune.js, which implements all of the features in the base specification, and follows the recommendations as much as possible.

$ npm install fortune fortune-http fortune-json-api

Usage

const http = require('http')
const fortune = require('fortune')
const fortuneHTTP = require('fortune-http')
const jsonApiSerializer = require('fortune-json-api')

// `instance` is an instance of Fortune.js.
const listener = fortuneHTTP(instance, {
  serializers: [
    // The `options` object here is optional.
    [ jsonApiSerializer, options ]
  ]
})
// The listener function may be used as a standalone server, or
// may be composed as part of a framework.
const server = http.createServer((request, response) =>
  listener(request, response)
  .catch(error => { /* error logging */ }))

server.listen(8080)

The options object is as follows:

• prefix: hyperlink prefix. If this prefix starts with /, then it will rewrite paths relative to the prefix. For example, a prefix valued /api will handle requests at that route like /api/users/1. Default: "" (empty string).
• inflectType: pluralize and dasherize the record type name in the URI. Can be Boolean to enable/disable all inflections or an object specifying each type in specific with unreferenced types set to default, ex: { faculty: false }. Default: true.

• maxLimit: maximum number of records to show per page. Default: 1000.
