methods

var webapi = require('batchdb-web-api')

var api = webapi(compute, opts)

Create a batchdb http handler instance api from a batchdb instance compute.

You can pass in an opts.prefix string to mount the routes at a prefix.

var m = api.exec(req, res)

If the request matches, handle the request and return the match.

var m = api.match(req.url)

Compute whether the http request url string req.url should be handled

routes

These routes are handled by the web api:

• /create - create a job from the contents of the POST body
• /list/job - list the jobs
• /list/pending - list the pending instances
• /list/result - list results
• /blob/:id - fetch job or result blob content by its id

npm install batchdb-web-api
