# rest_api
A RESTful API generated by [generator-rest](https://github.com/diegohaz/generator-rest).
See the API's [documentation](DOCS.md).
## Commands
After you generate your project, these commands are available in `package.json`.
```bash
npm test # test using Jest
npm run test:unit # run unit tests
npm run test:integration # run integration tests
npm run coverage # test and open the coverage report in the browser
npm run lint # lint using ESLint
npm run dev # run the API in development mode
npm run prod # run the API in production mode
npm run docs # generate API docs
```
## Playing locally
First, you will need to install and run [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) in another terminal instance.
```bash
$ mongod
```
Then, run the server in development mode.
```bash
$ npm run dev
Express server listening on http://0.0.0.0:9000, in development mode
```
If you choose to generate the authentication API, you can start to play with it.
> Note that creating and authenticating users needs a master key (which is defined in the `.env` file)
Create a user (sign up):
```bash
curl -X POST http://0.0.0.0:9000/users -i -d "email=test@example.com&password=123456&access_token=MASTER_KEY_HERE"
```
It will return something like:
```bash
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
...
{
"id": "57d8160eabfa186c7887a8d3",
"name": "test",
"picture":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/55502f40dc8b7c769880b10874abc9d0?d=identicon",
"email": "test@example.com",
"createdAt": "2016-09-13T15:06:54.633Z"
}
```
Authenticate the user (sign in):
```bash
curl -X POST http://0.0.0.0:9000/auth -i -u test@example.com:123456 -d "access_token=MASTER_KEY_HERE"
```
It will return something like:
```bash
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
...
{
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9",
"user": {
"id": "57d8160eabfa186c7887a8d3",
"name": "test",
"picture": "https://gravatar.com/avatar/55502f40dc8b7c769880b10874abc9d0?d=identicon",
"email": "test@example.com",
"createdAt":"2016-09-13T15:06:54.633Z"
}
}
```
Now you can use the `eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9` token (it's usually greater than this) to call user protected APIs. For example, you can create a new `article` API using `yo rest:api` and make the `POST /articles` endpoint only accessible to authenticated users. Then, to create a new article you must pass the `access_token` parameter.
```bash
curl -X POST http://0.0.0.0:9000/articles -i -d "title=Awesome Article&content=Yeah Baby&access_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9"
```
It will return something like:
```bash
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
...
{
"id": "57d819bfabfa186c7887a8d6",
"title": "Awesome Article",
"content": "Yeah Baby",
"createdAt": "2016-09-13T15:22:39.846Z",
"updatedAt":"2016-09-13T15:22:39.846Z"
}
```
> Some endpoints are only accessible by admin users. To create an admin user, just pass the `role=admin` along to other data when calling `POST /users`.
## Deploy
Here is an example on how to deploy to [Heroku](https://heroku.com) using [Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-command-line):
```bash
# start a new local git repository
git init
# create a new heroku app
heroku apps:create my-new-app
# add heroku remote reference to the local repository
heroku git:remote --app my-new-app
# add the MongoLab addon to the heroku app
heroku addons:create mongolab
# set the environment variables to the heroku app (see the .env file in root directory)
heroku config:set MASTER_KEY=masterKey JWT_SECRET=jwtSecret
# commit and push the files
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push heroku master
# open the deployed app in the browser
heroku open
```
The second time you deploy, you just need to:
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "Update code"
git push heroku master
```
## Directory structure
### Overview
You can customize the `src` and `api` directories.
```
src/
├─ api/
│ ├─ user/
│ │ ├─ controller.js
│ │ ├─ index.js
│ │ ├─ index.test.js
│ │ ├─ model.js
│ │ └─ model.test.js
│ └─ index.js
├─ services/
│ ├─ express/
│ ├─ facebook/
│ ├─ mongoose/
│ ├─ passport/
│ ├─ sendgrid/
│ └─ your-service/
├─ app.js
├─ config.js
└─ index.js
```
### src/api/
Here is where the API endpoints are defined. Each API has its own folder.
#### src/api/some-endpoint/model.js
It defines the Mongoose schema and model for the API endpoint. Any changes to the data model should be done here.
#### src/api/some-endpoint/controller.js
This is the API controller file. It defines the main router middlewares which use the API model.
#### src/api/some-endpoint/index.js
This is the entry file of the API. It defines the routes using, along other middlewares (like session, validation etc.), the middlewares defined in the `some-endpoint.controller.js` file.
### services/
Here you can put `helpers`, `libraries` and other types of modules which you want to use in your APIs.
