simple:json-routes

https://atmospherejs.com/simple/json-routes

The simplest bare-bones way to define server-side JSON API endpoints, without any extra functionality. Based on connect-route.

Example

1JsonRoutes.add("get", "/posts/:id", function (req, res, next) {
2  var id = req.params.id;
3
4  JsonRoutes.sendResult(res, 200, Posts.findOne(id));
5});

API

JsonRoutes.add(method, path, handler)

Add a server-side route that returns JSON.

• method - The HTTP method that this route should accept: "get", "post",

etc. See the full list here.

• path - The path, possibly with parameters prefixed with a :. See the

example.

• handler(request, response, next) - A handler function for this route.

request is a Node request object, response is a Node response object, next is a callback to call to let the next middleware handle this route. You don't need to use this normally.

JsonRoutes.sendResult(response, code, data)

Return data fom a route.

• response - the Node response object you got as an argument to your handler

function.

• code - the status code to send. 200 for OK, 500 for internal error, etc.
• data - the data you want to send back, will be sent as serialized JSON with

content type application/json.

JsonRoutes.setResponseHeaders(headerObj)

Set the headers returned by JsonRoutes.sendResult. Default value is:

1{
2  "Cache-Control": "no-store",
3  "Pragma": "no-cache"
4}

Adding middlewares

If you want to insert connect middleware and ensure that it runs before your REST route is hit, use JsonRoutes.middleWare.

1JsonRoutes.middleWare.use(function (req, res, next) {
2  console.log(req.body);
3  next();
4});
