restify-sequelize-query

Create REST APIs using Restify and Sequelize.

Example:

import query from 'restify-sequelize-query';
import cache from 'restify-sequelize-query/lib/RedisCache';

cache.configure({
	'StuffModel': 'redis://localhost:7777',
	'OtherStuff': 'redis://localhosT:7778',
	'MoreStuff': 'redis://localhost:7779',
	'raw': 'redis://localhost:77780' // exec/multiexec
});

server.get(
	{ path: '/stuff/:id' },
	query({
		method: 'select',
		model: StuffModel,
		attributes: [ 'id', 'col1', 'col2' ],
		order: [ 'id' ],
		where: (params) => ({ id: params.id }),
		limit: 1,
		format: (results) => results.map(result => ({ column1: result.col1, column2: result.col2 })),
		cache: cache
	})
);

query(options):

Returns:

A Restify middleware function.

options

Specifies Sequelize query options. Options are passed directly to the Sequelize method selected by options.method.

options.method:

• select: Execute one findAll query
• update: Execute update calls based on req.body contents
• upsert: Execute upsert calls based on req.body contents
• delete: Execute delete calls based on req.body contents
• exec: Execute one raw SQL query
• multiexec: Execute raw SQL queries based on req.body contents

options.model:

Specifies the Sequelize model to query.

options.where:

A function with one parameter that returns either an object literal or a Promise that resolves to an object literal describing the where clause. The parameter is either req.params or req.body[idx] depending on which query method is used. This option is only supported for select, update, and delete query methods.

Use this to create custom where clauses based on either the request parameters or individual request body items.

options.parse:

A function with req.body as it's parameter and returns either a Promise or undefined. req.body is forced to be an Array if it isn't already. The parse function should iterate and alter each body item if necessary.

Use this to alter the request body if necessary.

options.format:

A function that receives an array of query results and must return either an array of formatted results or a Promise that resolves to the same.

Use this to format data results.

options.sql:

A SQL string used to specify the raw SQL to execute for exec and multiexec methods.

options.sequelize:

Set this to the sequelize instance used to execute raw SQL queries when using the exec and multiexec query methods.

options.replacements:

For exec queries:

This can be set to a function accepting req as it's parameter and returning a value or Promise that describes the parameter replacements to be made in the raw SQL.

For multiexec queries:

This can be set to a function accepting req.body[idx] as it's parameter and returning a value or Promise that describes the parameter replacements to be made in the raw SQL.

options.bind:

For exec queries:

This can be set to a function accepting req as it's parameter and returning a value or Promise that describes the parameter binds to be made in the raw SQL.

For multiexec queries:

This can be set to a function accepting req.body[idx] as it's parameter and returning a value or Promise that describes the parameter binds to be made in the raw SQL.

options.cache:

This can be set to a cache class that should have the following methods:

• set(shard, key, value): Return a Promise that sets a cache value and resolves to that same value.
• get(shard, key): Return a Promise that resolves either to the cache value specified by the key or undefined.
• clear(shard): Return a Promise that removes all keys associated with the shard.

Two sample cache classes are included: MemoryCache and RedisCache.

options.invalidate:

This is an Array of either model names or model references used to invalidate cache entries.
