Skelenode-model NPM

Skelenode Model

This is a Skelenode component to manage your data models. It relies on Skelenode Swagger to provide automatic API documentation and routing. It can be paired with Skelenode Socket to allow HTTP requests to the model via XHR or web sockets using the same API route.

Requirements

You must have a Skelenode server running with Skelenode Swagger

Installation

npm install skelenode-model

Usage

Create a model file

app/models/hello/world.js

'use strict';

var SkelenodeModel = require('skelenode-model');

module.exports = function() {
	var Model = new SkelenodeModel();

	// create a swagger endpoint for this model
	Model.setSwagger({
			method: 'GET',
			path: '/api/v1/hello/world',
			nickname: 'hello_world'
		}, function(req, res, next) {
			// each model receives an 'swr' attribute that contains the responses from
			// Skelenode Swagger
			Model.swr.success({ msg: 'Hello World!' }, res);
			next();
		});

	return Model;
};

Load the model with Skelenode Model Loader

var skelenodeModelLoader = require('skelenode-model/loader');
skelenodeModelLoader.init(__dirname + '/app/models');

Access that path via an HTTP request (will vary by your server setup) such as:

http://localhost:3000/api/v1/hello/world

{
    "success": true,
    "code": 200,
    "result": {
        "msg": "Hello World!"
    }
}

Methods

setSwagger(spec, action)

Adds a swagger API endpoint with the given spec and action.

Model.setSwagger({
		method: 'GET',
		path: '/api/v1/hello/world',
		nickname: 'hello_world'
	}, function(req, res, next) {
		Model.swr.success({ msg: 'Hello World!' }, res);
		next();
	});
