Server middleware for falcor-hapi

Working usage example in falcor-hapi-demo repo

Usage

Minimalistic example

var FalcorServer = require('falcor-hapi');
var Hapi = require('hapi');
var TestRouter = <your router here>;

var app = new Hapi.Server();
app.connection({
    host: "localhost",
    port: 9090
});

app.route({
    method: ['GET', 'POST'],
    path: '/model.json',
    handler: FalcorServer.dataSourceRoute(function(req, res) {
        return new TestRouter();
    })
});
app.start();

Hapi Plugin Usage

You can also register this module as an Hapi Plugin and use its provided Falcor handler.

Features

• Provides restful router with cached routes out of the box.
• Both the Hapi Request and Reply are available within your routes as this.req and this.reply.
• Validates your routes with JOI.
• You can provide your own initialize method to the router.
• Alternately, you can provide your own Router class and the handler will mixin the logic to cache your routes and the base Falcor router class.

var Hapi = require('hapi');

var app = new Hapi.Server();
app.connection({
    host: "localhost",
    port: 9090
});

app.register(require('falcor-hapi'), function (err) {
   if (err) {
       console.error('Failed to load plugin:', err);
   }

   app.route({
     method: ['GET', 'POST'],
     path: '/model.json',
     handler: {
         falcor: {
             routes: routes,                                         // Your routes
             cacheRoutes: true,                                      // Whether to cache your routes, default to true
             options: {debug: true},                                 // Option to give to Falcor router
             initialize: function() {                                // Optional initialize method
                this.foo = this.req.payload.meaningoflife || 42;
             },
             routerClass: MyRouterClass                              // Optional routerClass to use
         }
     }
   });

   app.start();
});

Development

Please run linting before pushing on repo

npm run lint

Todo

• Create mocha test for regression and development instead of using example
