Is there a way to auto generate a Rest service in node.js like in rails? I just want to expose my mongodb models as a Restfull service. I am now doing a lot of repetitive work with Mongoose and express-resource.
You can also use a library I developed if Railway is too bulky for your needs:
https://github.com/enyo/mongo-rest
It's a simple library, well tested, that just provides a REST interface for your mongoose models.
Yep, it's possible, follow this commands:
npm install railway
railway init rest-app && cd rest-app && npm install
railway generate scaffold resource property1 property2
railway server 3000
That's it! If you need to generate nested resource:
railway generate resource.nestedresource propertyForNestedResource
and modify config/routes.js:
map.resources('resource', function (res) {
res.resources('nestedresources');
});
