Code example

var express = require('express');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var mr8 = require('mr8')(mongoose);
var app = express();

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', function() {
    mr8.applyTo(app, {options...}); // See lib/options.js for options reference
    http.createServer(app).listen(8080);
})

Supported requests:

• POST http://hostname:port/mr8/Thing - create Thing

Events

mr8 object contains ee property which is an EventEmitter instance. After each affecting request (POST, PUT, DELETE) it emits two events: %action%:post and %action%:post:%name, where %action% is action name ('create', 'update', 'delete' respectievely) and %name% is affected model name.

Example

// POST http://hostname:port/mr8/Thing
mr8.ee.on('create:post', function(name, data) {
    // 'name' is a model name ('Thing' in our example)
    // 'data' is the created Thing instance
});

// PUT http://hostname:port/mr8/Thing/1
mr8.ee.on('update:post:Thing', function(data) {
    // 'data' is the updated Thing instance
});
