RESTful routes for Express and Mongoose.

Author's note: Repose is under development. Changes are pushed frequently, so feel free to follow along.

Repose

Repose helps you create RESTful Express routes to access your Mongoose resources. It favors convention over configuration by using a simple query language, smart cascade/populate functionality, and straightforward customization parameters.

Getting Started

var express = require('express');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var repose = require('repose');

var User = mongoose.model('User');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/myapp');
var app = express();

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded());

// Create a controller for the User model
var UserController = new repose.Controller(User);

// Bind the routes to the express app
repose.bindRoutes(app, UserController);

app.listen(3001);

This will create the following routes:

GET /user/:id
GET /user
POST /user

Query parameters

Query parameters are automatically generated based on the Mongoose schema type.
