Majera

MongoDB And JSON Schema in an Express-based Rest Api

Majera is a spawnable express-based rest api which saves to mongodb and validates data based on jsonschema. Install it through npm install majera.

Options

All options are optional. These are all options with their defaults:

const majera = require('majera');

const options = {
  app: null,                           // Bring your own express app, or Majera will create and launch one
  basePath: '/majera',                 // Base path for all public urls
  callback: null                       // Function called when server is ready
  models: {},                          // A javascript object with models as values. See models below.
  modelsPath: null                     // Path to folder containing models, each in their own module file. See models below.
  mongodbUri: process.env.MONGODB_URI, // A working MongoDB
  port: process.env.PORT || 3000,      // Port for express to use, not used if you bring your own express app
  verify: null,                        // Verify function to be used in basic auth
};

const majeraServer = majera(options);

Models

Models can be provided in their own folder. Each in their own module file. Modules should be javascript objects and should look somewhat like this:

models/message.js:

module.exports = () => ({
  // Pretty name
  name: 'Message',

  // JSON Schema definition
  schema: {
    properties: {
      body: {
        required: true,
        type: String,
      },
    },
    required: ['title'],
    type: 'object',
  },
});
