Sr-generator-cli NPM

Sequelize Router Generator CLI

A simple generator for Sequelize router with nodejs, so you need to use sequelize in nodejs to use this plugin.

You must to have a ./models folder with your sequelize models inside. generate by :

sequelize model:create --name NAME_OF_SCRIPT --attributes "..."

Installation

npm i sr-generator-cli -g

How use it

before use, create a /router folder with index.js and add this inside :

'use strict';

const routes = [];

// Add access to the app and db objects to each route
module.exports = function router(app, db) {
  return routes.forEach((route) => {
    route(app, db);
  });
};

After, in your express server.js file, add :

const router = require('./router/index');

router(app, db);

run

sequelize-gr

and select the file name to generate.

Example

For example, we will create an API to save phone numbers. Run :

sequelize model:create --name Phones --attributes "
phoneNumber:float,
validated:boolean
"

You will get a model file ./models/phones.js and a migration file ./migrations/XXXXXXXXX-create-phones.js . Your model look like this :

'use strict';
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {`
  let Phones = sequelize.define('Phones', {
    phoneNumber: DataTypes.FLOAT,
    validated: DataTypes.BOOLEAN
  }, {
    classMethods: {
      associate: function(models) {
        // associations can be defined here
      }
    }
  });
  return Phones;
};

The sr-generator-cli use the model file to generate the routes of this file. when your model is generate, you can use the sr-generator-cli.

Run :

sequelize-gr

Select the file name to generate, and it's finish. You get a router file named `./router/phones.js whos look like this :

'use strict';

module.exports = (app, db) => {

  // GET all phones
  app.get('/phones', (req, res) => {
    db.Phones.findAll()
    .then(phones => {
      res.json(phones);
    });
  });

  // GET one phone by id
  app.get('/phones/:id', (req, res) => {
    db.Phones.find({
      where: { id: req.params.id }
    })
    .then(phone => {
      res.json(phone);
    });
  });

  // POST single phone
  app.post('/phones', (req, res) => {
    db.Phones.create({
      user_id: req.body.user_id,
      phoneNumber: req.body.phoneNumber,
      validated: req.body.validated
    })
    .then(newPhone => {
      res.json(newPhone);
    })
  });

  // PATCH single phone
  app.patch('/phones/:id', (req, res) => {
    db.Phones.find({
      where: { id: req.params.id }
    })
    .then(phones => {
      return phones.updateAttributes(req.body.updates)
    })
    .then(updatedPhone => {
      res.json(updatedPhone);
    });
  });

  // DELETE single phone
  app.delete('/phones/:id', (req, res) => {
    db.Phones.destroy({
      where: { id: req.params.id }
    })
    .then(deletedPhone => {
      res.json(deletedPhone);
    });
  });
};

And the require route is add in /router/index.js

After that, you can test/use your route with Postman (for example)
