Server Request for racer

Request data from racer server. Can be used with racer or derby

Install

Using

You need to connect plugin for Store and Model. You will get store.serverRequest.register and model.serverRequest methods.

Warning!

model.serverRequest can be used only with model.fetch.

server/index.js example

var derby = require('derby');

derby.use(require('racer-server-request').storePlugin());

store = derby.createStore({
  listen: server
});

/*
 * You have `this.session` and `this.done()` context
 */
store.serverRequest.register('tumblrInfo', function(param1, param2) {
  var done = this.done;
  
  if (this.session.name === param1)
    tumblr.get('/user/info', function(err, data) {
      done(err, data);
    });
  else
    done('Access denied', null);
});

app/index.js example

var derby = require('derby');

derby.use(require('racer-server-request').modelPlugin());

var app = derby.createApp(module);

app.get('/', function(page, model, params, next) {
  var serverRequest = model.serverRequest('tumblrInfo', 'param1', 'param2');
  
  model.fetch(serverRequest, function(err, scopedInfo) {
    model.ref('_tumblrInfo', scopedInfo);
    page.render();
  });
});
