restygoose

Automatic publish the API REST for models in a mongoose instance.

This generate an instance of express with the API REST to manipulate mongoose models.

Example

var Restify = require('restygoose');
var app = require('express')();

var customers = new Schema({
	id : { type : Number },
	name : { type: String },
	lastname : { type : String },
	user : { type : Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'users' }
});

var users = new Schema({
	username : { type: String },
	password : { type : String },
});

var customersModel = mongoose.model('customers', customers);
var usersModel = mongoose.model('users', users);

// Config restygoose
var config = {

	mongooseDef : mongoose, 
	prefixURL : '/api',
	sufixURL : '/rest',
	models : {
		customers : {
			keys : ['id', 'name?']
		},
		users : {
			keys : ['username', 'password']
		}
	}

};

var api = new Restify(config);
app.use(api);
app.listen(3000);
