minimalistic Express.js library which turns one json-model into: mongoose models, REST endpoints, documentation & admin interface

Usage

$ npm install mongoose resourcejs-admin express

then setup your express app like so:

var express = require('express')
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000
var mongoose = require('mongoose')
var config = require('./config.json')

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/myapp'); 

// Create a new Express application.
app = express()

// Setup database / rest endpoints / documentation / admin
require('resourcejs-admin')(express, app, config, 
  function(schema, name, config){  }   // you can decorate the mongoose schema's further here (http://mongoosejs.com/docs/2.7.x/docs/schematypes.html)
  function(swagger){ }                 // you can decorate the swagger-spec here to extend the docs served at /doc
})

app.listen(port)

and config.json like so:

{
  "title":"My app", 
  "logo":"/img/logo.png", 
  "users":{
    "admin": {"password":"password"}
  }, 
  "database":{
    "user":{
      "data":{
        "id": 1234, 
        "username":"johndoe", 
        "email":"[email protected]", 
        "displayName":"John Doe", 
        "data":{}
      }, 
      "rest":["get", "post", "put", "delete", "index"]
    }, 
    "game":{
      "data":{
        "repository":"http://github.com/foo/bar", 
        "issues":[1234, 143453, 1345]
      }, 
      "rest":["get", "post", "put", "delete", "index"]
    }
  }
}

Features

• rest endpoints served basic on mongoose schemas (which are extracted from data in config.json)
• easy configurable database schema by putting data-mocks into config.json
• documentation served at /doc
• admin panel served at /admin
• basic http authentication (in progress)
