hapi-mongoose-api

use this plugin only in Node 4.0.0 and up

how to use?

npm install --save hapi-mongoose-api

register this plugin in Hapi

server.register(require('hapi-mongoose-api'), /* error */);

you can pass options with the register function

server.register({
  register: require('hapi-mongoose-api'),
  options: {
    mongoURL: 'mongodb://localhost/mydb', //default: process.env.MONGO_URL
    models: './models/mongoose' //default: ./models/mongoose
  }
}, /* error */);

models

make sure your models look like this

 
/* filename: Student.js */
 
'use strict';
 
module.exports = {
 
  api: true, //default: false
  sort: '-created', //default: _id
  exclude: 'GET', //default empty, you can also pass an array ['GET', 'DELETE']
  collection: 'feedback', //default: mongoose default (name + 's')
 
  schema: {
    studentId: String,
    feedback: String,
    created: {
      type: Date,
      default: Date.now
    },
    active: {
      type: Boolean,
      default: true
    }
  }
 
};
 
 

this only creates a model (no API)

 
/* filename: Student.js */
 
'use strict';
 
module.exports = {
 
  schema: {
    studentId: String,
    feedback: String,
    created: {
      type: Date,
      default: Date.now
    },
    active: {
      type: Boolean,
      default: true
    }
  }
 
};
 
 

api?

if you set the variable api to true, this plugin creates api routes for your mongoose models

• GET /api/{collectionname}
• GET /api/{collectionname}/{id}
• POST /api/{collectionname}/{id}
• DELETE /api/{collectionname}/{id}
