Usage

Run npm install as usual

npm run dev will run the server with config.dev.js settings

npm run staging will run the server with config.staging.js settings

npm run prod will run the server with config.prod.js settings

Plugins loading and registration

You can easily customize your Hapi server by adding the plugins you need in /server.js manifest file or in /lib/index.js.

Jobs, Routes, Auth, Models and Services loading

Everything has been setup in order to avoid the need to write code to add new components to the server. Anyway, since this is a boilerplate and the loading process cannot be completely abstracted, you'll probably need to tweak various things around if you plan to use different packages for models, jobs, services, etc...

Auth Strategies

You can add your authentication strategies in /lib/config/auth.js and they will be registered automatically. The default authentication strategy is set in /lib/index.js.

Routes

Adding a new route is a two step operation:

1. Create a route as /lib/routes/routename.js
2. Add routename into /lib/config/routes.js

Prefix

Every registered route is prefixed by a prefix and a version (/api/v1 is the default). API_PREFIXand API_VERSION are defined in /lib/config/routes.js.

Models

To add a new model, just create a new filename into /lib/models/ and it will be loaded automatically.

Jobs

Adding a new job is a two step operation:

1. Create a job into /lib/jobs/jobname.js
2. Add jobname into /lib/config/jobs.js

Services

Adding a new service is a two step operation:

1. Create a service into /lib/jobs/servicename.js
2. Add servicename into /lib/config/services.js
