CompREST

===

A productivity framework for Node.js REST applications. Student work for class - you've been warned.

####Example

var http = require('http');
var compRest = require('comprest');

var serverFunction = function(req, resp) {
  if ('/' === req.url) {
    compRest(resp).text('A sample server');
  }
  else if ('/json' === req.url) {
    var obj = { a: 'one', b: 'two' };
    compRest(resp).json(obj);
  }
  else if ('/download' === req.url) {
    var readFile = fs.createReadStream('./filename.png');
    compRest(resp).pipe(readFile);
  }
};

var server = http.createServer(serverFunction);
server.listen(3000);

####Functions

• text(str, status) Expands to the following code:

  resp.writeHead((status? status : 200),
        {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'} );
  resp.write(str);
  resp.end();

  If status is not supplied, defaults to 200

• json(obj, status) Expands to the following code:

  resp.writeHead((status? status : 200),
        {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} );
  resp.write(JSON.stringify(obj));
  resp.end();

  If status is not supplied, defaults to 200

• pipe(stream, status) Expands to the following code:

  resp.writeHead((status? status : 200),
        {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'} );
