common-routes

Simple express/knex/bookshelf util for common routes that emerge on every rest api.

See docs for more details.

Install

# you'll need express, knex and bookshelf too 
npm install common-routes --save

Dependencies

• Express (with body-parser/json middleware)
• Bookshelf (and the bookshelf-page plugin)
• Knex
• the sql driver for your database

Usage

// src/routes/area.js
const commonRoutes = require("common-routes");
const { knex, Bookshelf } = require("../config");
const router = require("express").Router();
 
const Area = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  idAttribute: "idarea",
  tableName: "area",
  state() {
    return this.belongsTo(require("./state").State, "idstate");
  }
});
 
const withRelated = ["state"];
 
commonRoutes.apply(
  router,
  Area,
  withRelated,
  (qb, query) => {
    if (query.textoBusca) {
      let s = query.textoBusca;
      qb.where("descricao", "ilike", `%${s}%`);
    }
    delete query.textoBusca;
  },
  "-dtcreationarea"
);
 
module.exports = {
  router,
  Area
};

Then require this router on your main app:

// src/main.js
const express = require("express");
const { json } = require("body-parser");
const app = express();
 
app.use(json());
 
app.use("/area", require("./routes/area").router);
 
// ...

Once you pass this router to your express app, the following routes will be available:

route	verb	purpose
/area/list	GET	Lists all areas. Can pass page and pageSize as query parameters.
/area/count	GET	Counts all areas.
/area/:id	GET	Gets one area by id. the real name of the key column the model already knows.
/area/save	POST	Inserts a new entity.
/area/save	PUT	Updates an entity. It must have a valid ID
/area/:id	DELETE	Detetes one entity. with the given id
