buildreq v2.1.1

BuildREQ

What is Build Response,Routing,Error & Query?

It is currently a Mongoose & Express dependent module. It can be used in a different ways like building out dynamic routes, query filter in conjuction with your schema, Error handler & Standard response. It is most useful when used as a middleware with your expressjs api.

Build.query

console.log(build.query({mongoose:mongoose,req:req})

Build.queryMiddleware

app.use(build.queryMiddleware())
//or send mongoose in if your having loading issues
app.use(build.queryMiddleware({mongoose:mongoose}))

Configs

build.config({
  query: {
  //configs go here
  }
})

Build.error

app.use(build.error())

Build.response

build.response(res, {
    method: 'json',
    query: req.queryParameters,
    hostname: req.get('host') + req.path,
    route: req.route,
    data: 'no data'
})

Build.responseMiddleware

app.use(build.responseMiddleware())
res.response(res, {
    count: results.count,
    method: 'json',
    query: req.queryParameters,
    hostname: req.get('host') + req.baseUrl,
    route: req.route,
    data: results.get,
    type: Campaign
})

Build.routing

var blogSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  created: {
    type: Date,
    default: Date.now
  }
})
Blog = mongoose.model('Blog', blogSchema)
//var route = build.routing(app)
//console.log(route)
//or
build.routing({
    app:app,
    mongoose: mongoose
},function(error,data){
    console.log(data)
})

// Routes that will be created for you
// http://localhost:3000/api/v1/blog - GET,POST | GETALL - CREATE 
// http://localhost:3000/api/v1/blog/id/:blogId - PUT,DELETE,GET | UPDATE DELETE VIEWONE
// http://localhost:3000/api/v1/blog/aggregate - GET | USE AGGREGATION FRAMEWORK
// http://localhost:3000/api/v1/blog/fields/ - GET | GETS ALL FIELDS IN SCHEMA
// http://localhost:3000/api/v1/blog/options/ - GET | GETS ALL OPTIONS IN SCHEMA
// http://localhost:3000/api/v1/blog/_indexes/ - GET | GETS ALL INDEXES IN SCHEMA

//You Can Inject mongoose in your routing if need be
//You can also wait for the connection to openbefore injecting it
var mongoose = require('mongoose')

  mongoose.connection.onOpen(function(){
    //console.log(mongoose.connection)
    console.log('open')
    //console.log(mongoose.models)
    build.routing(app,mongoose)
  })


// OR you can  build it on your end by setting the config to not build
var build = require('buildreq')(
    routing: {
        schema: true,
        url: '/api/v1/',
        build: false
    }
)

_.forEach(build.routing(app, mongoose), function (m) {
  app.use(m.route, m.app)
})

Configs

build.config({
  routing: {
  //configs go here
  }
})

Build.config

var build = require('../buildreq')
build.config({configs: 'here'}-->)

R - Response Builder

The next common way to use this module is to have it build your api response so that you have a consistent format. This response is dynamic enough right off the bat to do logic based on actions you wish to give your frontend. Great thing is if you don’t like some of the fields you can delete them in the configs.

R - Routing Builder

It is a optional routing builder . what it does is it creates CRUD routes and interacts with the database based off of the shcema from mongoose. More to come on it later.

E - Error

The error is still being worked on to make better but currently it is a base level error handler

Q - Query Builder

The most common used way is as a dynamic query builder as express middleware. It watches on the “req.query “ to see how you users interacting with it. Once it captures the data it will then check it again all of you defined mongoose schemas. By doing that it allows the builder to know what to allow and what not to all. This will give you a dynamic api query handler with out having to code anything at all . All you need to do is to tell express to use the module as middleware “app.use(buildReq.query);”
