Documentation

This package maps the following routes to the specified Serene operations:

Route	Serene operation
GET /:resource	list
GET /:resource/:id	get
POST /:resource	create
PATCH /:resource/:id	update
PUT /:resource/:id	replace
DELETE /:resource/:id	delete

It also defines an error handler that serialises the error to JSON in the error field of the response, using the status code specified by the status field on the error if it exists, or 500 by default.

If you pass false as a second argument to sereneExpress, it will not register the error handler nor the handler that formats the response to JSON. These handlers can be referenced manually like so:

import {errorHandler, formatJson} from 'serene-express';

This could be useful for setting it up to serialise to a different format, such as XML or CSV.
