Node-Active-Resource

Node-Active-Resource is an ORM (Object Relational Mapper) that maps RESTful Resources to Javascript Objects in NodeJS.

Inspired by HER
Access API resources without having to make HTTP requests on your own.

Node-Active-Resource allows you to define API resources on your front-end application and access them using ORM like features.

Setup

# vger.js
var options = {
  host: "api.yourdomain.com",
  port: 80
};

var nodeVger = require('node-active-resource')(options);

var resources = require("./resources")

# app.js
var vger = require('vger');

Simple isn't it.

Lets see how to define a Resource now

Sample Resource:

  var Resource = require('node-active-resource').Resource;
  var User = Resource.define_resource({
    collectionPath: "/users"
  })

Installation

# package.json
dependencies: {
  "node-active-resource": "git://github.com/prcongithub/node-active-resource.git"
}
