OData V4 Service Metadata Document
Using this module you can generate a service metadata document response from a simple JSON format, an advanced schema JSON format or an Edmx instance created with odata-v4-metadata.
Basic usage
Use the simple JSON format and convert your metadata JSON to a service metadata document.
var ServiceMetadata = require('odata-v4-service-metadata').ServiceMetadata;
// $metadata express.js route
app.get('/odata/\\$metadata', ServiceMetadata.defineEntities({
namespace: 'Default',
containerName: 'Container',
entities: [
{
name: 'Kitten',
collectionName: 'Kittens',
keys: ['Id'],
computedKey: true,
properties: {
Id: 'Edm.String',
Name: 'Edm.String',
Age: 'Edm.Int32',
Lives: 'Edm.Int32',
Owner: 'Edm.String'
},
annotations:[
{ name: 'UI.DisplayName', value: 'Meww' },
{ property: 'Id', name: 'UI.ReadOnly', value: 'true' },
{ property: 'Title', name: 'UI.DisplayName', value: 'Meww Meww' },
]
}
]
}).requestHandler());
Advanced usage
Use a schema JSON, which is more verbose, but you can customize the metadata in a more advanced way.
var ServiceMetadata = require('odata-v4-service-metadata').ServiceMetadata;
var schema = require('./schema');
var serviceMetadata = ServiceMetadata.processMetadataJson(schema);
var serviceMetadataDocument = serviceMetadata.document();
An example schema JSON looks like this
