cypher-api-maker

Makes a promise-based API from a directory with cql files

npm install --save cypher-api-maker

Note, this library uses any-promise so make sure you have a compatible promise library installed

Example:

Given a directory structure that looks like this:`

example/
    foo.cql,
    bar.cql
    baz/fizz.cql

This module will build up an object that looks like:

{
    foo: function(params){},
    bar: function(params){},
    baz: {
        fizz: function(params){}
    }
}

A simple usage example would be:

var cypher_api = require("../");
 
console.log("Building API");
cypher_api(__dirname)
.then(function(api) {
    console.log("Built API:", api);
}).catch(function(err) {
    console.log("Error:", err, err.stack);
});

Each of those functions takes in an objects for parameters, and executes the cypher query with the given parameters. It then returns a Promise that resolves to the result.
