Create REST resources and controllers with thinky and express or restify
Getting Started
var thinky = require('thinky')(),
rest = require('thinky-rest'),
http = require('http');
// Define your models
var User = test.db.createModel('users', {
username: thinky.type.string().required(),
birthday: thinky.type.type.date().required()
});
// Initialize server
var server, app;
if (process.env.USE_RESTIFY) {
var restify = require('restify');
app = server = restify.createServer()
app.use(restify.queryParser());
app.use(restify.bodyParser());
} else {
var express = require('express'),
bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
server = http.createServer(app);
}
// Initialize thinky-rest
rest.initialize({
app: app,
thinky: thinky
});
// Create a REST resource
var userResource = rest.resource({
model: User,
endpoints: ['/users', '/users/:id']
});
// Start the server and access your rest routes
server.listen(function() {
var host = server.address().address,
port = server.address().port;
console.log('listening at http://%s:%s', host, port);
});
