##Quick use

The entity

var MainEntity = require('../../../lib/main/main-entity');
var util = require('util');

/*
* @param {Object} data - the data object with which to initialize the class attributes
* @property {int} id - the current user id
* @property {string} firstName - the user first name
* @property {string} lastName - the user last name
*/
function User(data) {

    /**Private var - the user id*/
    var id = null;

    /**Private var - the user first name*/
    var firstName;

    /**Private var - the user last name*/
    var lastName;

    /**
    * @method
    * Modify the user id
    * @param {int} id - the new id to assign
    */
    this.setId = function(_id) {
        id = _id;
    }

    /**
    * @method
    * Returns current user id
    * @return {int}
    */
    this.getId = function() {
      return id;
    }

    /**
    * @method
    * Modify the user first name
    * @param {string} fname - new first name to assign
    */
    this.setFirstName = function(fname) {
      firstName = fname;
    }

    /**
    * @method
    * Returns the user first name
    * @return {string}
    */
    this.getFirstName = function() {
      return firstName;
    }

    /**
    * @method
    * Modify user last name
    * @param {lname} - the new last name to assign
    */
    this.setLastName = function(lname) {
      lastName = lname;
    }

    /**
    * @method
    * Returns the user last name
    * @return {string}
    */
    this.getLastName = function() {
      return lastName;
    }

    /***Inheritance of the super entity class*/
    MainEntity.call(this,data);
}

/***Bind your Entity to the super Entity here by completing the first parameter*/
util.inherits(User,MainEntity);

module.exports = User;

The model

var util = require('util');
var User = require('../entities/User');
var MainModel = require('../../../lib/main/main-model');

/*
* Represents a UserModel
* @constructor
*/
function UserModel() {

  /**
  * The collection to use for this model
  */
  var collection = 'users';

  /***
  * Calling the super model constructor
  */
  MainModel.call(this, collection, User);
}

/***Binding the current model to the super model*/
util.inherits(UserModel,MainModel);

module.exports = UserModel;

The controller

var User = require('../entities/User')
, UserModel = require('../models/UserModel')
, util = require('../../../lib/utils/util');

function UserController() {

  var umodel = new UserModel();

  /**
  * Performs signup action
  * @param Request req  - the current request object
  * @param Response res - the current response Object
  */
  this.registerAction = function(req, res) {
    var user = new User(req.body);
    umodel.save(user,function(err, result) {
      if(!err) {
        console.log("User "+ result.lastInsertedId+" added successfully");
        //res.redirect('/login'); //We will uncomment this line after
      }
    });
  }
  /**
  * Render the current login
  */
  this.renderLoginAction = function(req,res) {
      res.render('login',{});
  }
}
module.exports = UserController;

The view

{% extends 'layout.twig'%}
{%block title%}{{user.getFirstName}} {{user.getLastName}}{%endblock%}
{%block login%}<a href="/logout" class="btn btn-primary">Logout</a> {%endblock%}
{%block body%}
  <section id="user-block-body">
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-lg-offset-3">
        <h3>Welcome to your profile page Mr. <b>{{user.getFirstName}} {{user.getLastName}}</b></h3>
        <h3>your number is : <b>{{user.getId}}</b></h3>
        <h3>and your email is : <b>{{user.getEmail}}</b></h3>
    </div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-lg-offset-5"><a href="/account" class="btn btn-success">Edit your profile</a></div>
  </section>
{%endblock%}

The front controller

var UserController = require('./src/user/controllers/UserController');
var userCtrl = new UserController();

/**
* calls the registration action from user controller
**/
.post('/register', urlencodedParser, function(req,res) {
    userCtrl.registerAction(req,res);
})
.get('/login', function(req,res) {
    userCtrl.renderLoginAction(req,res);
})
