expressa-init-collection

file-based design-pattern to organize expressa & express REST/db middleware

Usage

	require('expressa-folder')(expressa, app)
	expressa.addListener('ready', 100, >(){
		expressa.folderDir = __dirname+"/lib"
		expressa.initFolder('foo')      // will require expressa db/REST-listener code if collection exist
		expressa.initFolder('foo/bar')  // will setup custom express point
	})

This will automatically fetch the following files if present:

file	executed after database request	executed during REST request	expressa listener	creates express endpoint	note
lib/foo/get.js	no	yes	yes	no
lib/foo/put.js	no	yes	yes	no
lib/foo/delete.js	no	yes	yes	no
lib/foo/schema.js	no	yes	yes	no
lib/foo/functions.js	yes	yes	no	no	all db objects will inherit these functions
lib/foo/bar/get.js	no	yes	no	yes

Example: lib/foo/get.js

	module.exports = function(expressa, app){
		return function(req, collection, doc, resolve, reject) {
			// do stuff with the response data (doc)
			resolve(doc)
		})
	}

Example: lib/foo/functions.js

	module.exports = function(expressa, app){
		return {
			addPropertyFoo: () => {
				this.foo = "bar"
			}
		}
	}

Now you can easily access helper functions on the server:

expressa.db.foo.find({})
	.then( function(items){
		items.map( (i) => i.addPropertyFoo() )
	})

Example: lib/foo/bar/get.js

	module.exports = function(expressa,app){
		return function(req, res, next){
			res.end("foo")
		}
	}

Voila..this will automatically setup a 'foo/bar' express-endpoint
