jsonapi-mongo-parsers v0.1.0

jsonapi-mongo-parsers

Utilities to parse url parameters for json api query parameters with glue to conviniently hook them up to mongo.

As with json api, it makes no provision for the ?q= parameter, and instead leaves that choice up to you.

Install

npm install jsonapi-mongo-parsers

Example

var parseParams = require('jsonapi-mongo-parsers');

var params = {
  sort: '-age,+firstName',
  fields: '-_id,+email,+firstName',
  limit: '10',
  offset: '0'
};

var opts = parseParams(params);

collection.find({}, opts, function (err, docs) {
  console.dir(docs);
});

The above would yeild this opts object:

{
  sort: {
    age: -1,
    firstName: 1
  },
  fields: {
    _id: 0,
    email: 1,
    firstName: 1
  },
  limit: 10,
  offset: 0
}
