RethinkDB gateway allows CRUD on RethinkDB.
Igthorn RethinkDB Gateway is a package that provides gateway class to run CRUD operations on RethinkDB using igthorn-request(to query) and igthorn-entity(to save, update and replace). It's part of Igthorn project
Typical usage would be to query for data using igthorn-request middleware which would be attached to every GET route of application(route would receive Request object(ightorn-request) as a part of request object and pass forward to gateway - class extending rethinkDbGateway from this package and defining 'relations'). Below, how it works in background:
const sampleRequestData = {
"joins": [
"role"
],
"fields": {
"u.firstName": "userFirstName",
"r.name": "role"
}
};
var request = new Request();
request.inflate(sampleRequestData);
rethinkDbUserGateway.fetchAll(request)
.then(function(results) {
// console.log(results) - query result
}).catch(function(error) {
done(error);
});
Request class implements following methods:
- fetchAll(request:IghtornRequest) : promise
-
Support different types of joins
-
Refactor querying to subclass and move code to ES6 (const, let)
