Restgoose

Modern REST API framework. https://xurei.github.io/restgoose




#### MongoDB + Typescript + Restgoose = ❤️️

Restgoose exposes your MongoDB database through a REST API with ease.
It is driven by the model itself, which reduces the boilerplate code necessary to write simple endpoints.
It is open for extension, so you can add complex logic easily too.

Installation

``bash
npm install @xureilab/restgoose
`

Minimal usage


This creates the typical CRUD endpoints on a model :
`typescript
import { Restgoose, RestgooseModel, all, create, one, prop, remove, rest, update } from '@xureilab/restgoose';

@rest({
route: '/todos',
methods: [
all(), // GET /todos
one(), // GET /todos/:id
create(), // POST /todos
update(), // PATCH /todos/:id
remove(), // DELETE /todos/:id
],
})
export class Todo extends RestgooseModel {
@prop({required: true})
name: string;
}
``
See the full example (with express/mongoose boilerplates) in the examples directory

The Philosophy behind Restgoose

Restgoose takes its inspiration from Typegoose and Loopback.
We also had some objectives in mind while writing Restgoose :
- Simple, common behaviors should be really easy to write,
- The framework should follow a RESTful design,
- The framework should be simple to add in an existing project,
- While promoting some best practices, the framework should let the user add
complex endpoints without Restgoose if necessary
- The framework should be small and provide as little middlewares as necessary.
Plugins will be created for better cherry-picking.

We are looking for collaborators to test the framework in real-world situations, and also make the development faster.
