Hapi Path Generator

How it works

The project generates routes and the crud operations based on sequelize models.

The routes generated are of two types

• Table
  • Examples: /users, /users, /users/1/addresses?city=London
  • Valid Methods
    • GET Returns an array of table rows based on the generated query*
    • POST Creates a new entry based on the payload
    • DELETE Deletes an entry based generated query*
• Row
  • Examples: /users/1, /users/uniqueId, /users/1/addresses/232
  • Valid Methods
    • GET Returns the row matching the generated query*
    • PUT Updates the row using the payload provided matching the generated query*
    • DELETE Deletes the row that matches the generated query*

Querying

You can filter using query parameters when doing get requests: /users?name=Istar&age=25

Or using sequelize scopes: /users?sequelizeScopeName

Setting it up

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const hapiSeq = require('hapi-sequelize');
const hapiPath =require('hapi-path-generator');
const config = require('config');


const sequelize = new Sequelize(
  {
    database: config.get('db.database'),
    username: config.get('db.username'),
    password: config.get('db.password'),
    port: config.get('db.port'),
    host: config.get('db.host'),
    dialect: config.get('db.dialect'),
  }
);

const server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ port: 3000 });

server.register(
  {
    register: hapiSeq,
    options: {
      name: config.get('db.database'),
      sequelize: sequelize,
      sync: true,
      models: 'src/models/**/*.js'
    }
  },
  (err) => {
    if(err) {
      throw err;
    }

    server.register(
      {
        register: hapiPath,
        options: {
          sequelize: sequelize // Sequelize should be initialized with the models here
        }
      },
      (err) => {
        if(err) {
          throw err;
        }

        server.start(function (err) {
          if(err) {
            throw err;
          }
          console.log('server running');
        });
    });
});
