Usage

Example code for serverless backend API:

* Express style Codehooks API
* Codehooks (c) example code.
*/

import {app, Datastore} from 'codehooks-js';

// global middleware
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  console.log('Global hook middleware')
  req.foo = 'bar'
  next()
});

// middleware for routes
app.use('/hello', async (req, res, next) => {
  console.log("Middleware for /hello route")
  req.washere = true
  next()
})

app.get('/hello', async (req, res) => {
  console.log("GET")
  const conn = await Datastore.open()    
  const doc = await conn.insertOne('greetings', {"message": "Hello World!", "when": new Date()})
  res.json({...doc})
});

app.post('/hello', async (req, res) => {
  const {body} = req
  const conn = await Datastore.open()
  // add POST data to worker queue
  conn.enqueue('myQueueWorker', body)
  res.status(201).json({"message": "thanks", "body": body})
})

app.job('*/30 * * * * *', async (data, job) => {
  console.log("Tick")
  // do some work each 30 second
  job.end()
})

app.worker('myQueueWorker', async (data, job) => {
  const {payload} = data.body
  console.log("Message queue worker got item", payload)
  // do some work with payload item from queue
  job.end()
})

// return app to serverless runtime engine
export default app.init()
