API REST GENERATOR

Know can you create an API REST with only 2 code lines? It's posible thanks to this package! TRY NOW.

INSTALLATION

npm install api-rest-generator

o

yarn add api-rest-generator

REQUISITES

• Sequelize
• Express

FEATURES

• Create multiple CRUD in seconds with the pagination solved.
• You can disable pagination.
• Create an API REST automatically.
• Data validators (Sequelize).
• Customizable (paths & methods).
• Implement your middlewares on each path or method.
• Not necessarily should create a CRUD. You define which methods to use and which not. (onlyMethods & exceptMethods).

EXAMPLE

//api-rest-generator
const ApiRestGenerator = require('api-rest-generator');

//express
const express = require('express');
const server = express();
const port = 3000;

//import your Sequelize models
const { User, Post, Comment } = require('./models');

//configure your resources.
const resources = [
    User,
    {
        model: Post,
        path: 'articles',
        indexConfig:{
            include: 'comments'
        }
    },
    Comment
]

//package options
const config = {
    basePath: '/api',
    middlewares: [],

    /*
        for example:
            middleware: [foo(), bar()]

        result:
            router.use(middleware[0]);
            router.use(middleware[1]);
    */
}

const apigen = new ApiRestGenerator(resources, config);

//start server
server.listen(port, () => {
        
        //black magic implementation
        server.use(
            apigen.config.basePath,
            apigen.router()
        );
        console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:${port}`);
    })

Now, go to http://localhost:3000/api/users ;)

PAGINATION

We use the sequelize-paginate package to resolve the paginations.
