Quick Examples

var ncbiEutilService = require("./index");

// Set up our routes and start the server
ncbiEutilService.server.get('/ncbi/:db/:term', ncbiEutilService.processncbieutilrequest);
ncbiEutilService.server.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.send("hi there, you reached a page that it doesn't exists. ");
});

ncbiEutilService.server.listen(process.env.VMC_APP_PORT || 1337, function() {
console.log('%s listening at %s, love & peace', ncbiEutilService.server.name, ncbiEutilService.server.url);
});
