Rapidly

This is an API helper built on Express.js, with this, you can rapidly manage your own API paths/actions on the fly.

Installation

npm install -g rapidly

Command

Usage:

rapidly [options]

Options:

-h, --help          output usage information
-V, --version       output the version number
build [schemaName]  Build Necessary Files/Directories
--rebuild           Rebuild the Schema File 

Setup

• Generate your API routes by rapidly first

• Set up Rapidly on the top of server.js ( express.js entry point )

var Rapidly = require('rapidly');

• Set Rapidly route on the last part of your routes settings ( Make sure Rapidly would not override your routes ). You can change the path to your api routes ( In the example setting, all requests passed into http://myDomain/api/XXXXX would be routed to Rapidly )

app.all('/api/*', new Rapidly);

Notice

• When using rapidly, remember to change current directory to the root path of your Express.js App. Otherwise, rapidly would generate files in a wrong place.

• Because Rapidly is based on express.js, it would be better to include some validation / sanisization logic here. For me, I will try to include express-validator to help.

• Set up expressValidator on the top of server.js ( express.js entry point )

var expressValidator = require('express-validator');

• Use expressValidator middleware for express.js

app.use(expressValidator);
