Crude

Creates CRUD RESTfull endpoints for a given route.

Install

npm install crude --save

Quick Start

Crude requires a controller with the following methods and signatures:

var crude = require('crude');

var controller = {
    create: function(data) { return Promise(response); }),
    read: function(query) { return Promise(response); }),
    readLimit: function(query, skip, limit) { return Promise(response); }),
    readOne: function(query) { return Promise(response); }),
    update: function(query, data) { return Promise(response); }),
    count: function(query) { return Promise(response); }),
};

// Create the user CRUD routes
var userCrude = crude('/user', controller, expressApp);

That was it, you now have a RESTfull CRUD API under the route /user:

• POST /user Create a new user.
• GET /user Get a list of all the users paginated.
• GET /user/:id Get a single user item.
• PUT /user/:id Update the user item, expects the entirety of the resource to be updated.
• PATCH /user/:id Update the user item, expects a part of the resource to be updated.
• DELETE /user/:id Delete the user item.

HTTP methods were mapped based on RFC7231 Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Semantics and Content: HTTP Method Definitions.
