> A REST adapter for [LevelUP](https://github.com/rvagg/node-levelup)

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/level-rest.png?compact=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/level-rest/)

## Example

```js

var levelup = require('levelup')

var LevelREST = require('level-rest')

var db = levelup('./mydb', {valueEncoding: 'json'})

var rest = new LevelREST(db, {

  id: 'id',

  metaKey: 'meta',

  serialize: function(url) {

    url = url.split('/')

    return { api: url[0], id: url[1] }

  },

})

// POST data in

rest.post('people', { id: 1, name: 'Kyle' }, function() {

  console.log('Saved!')

})

// GET all people

rest.get('people').on('data', function(data) {

  data.people.forEach(function(person) {

    console.log('Hi ' + person.name)

  })

})

// GET one person by id

rest.get('people/1').on('data', function(data) {

  console.log('Hi ' + data.person.name)

})

// PUT data into one person

rest.put('people/1', { name: 'Dude' }, function() {

  console.log('Person 1 is now named Dude')

})

// DELETE a person

rest.delete('people/1', function() {

  console.log('Person 1 has been deleted')

})

```

### Everything Streams

The primary goal of this adapter is to be able to stream requests in to leveldb and stream out to a response.

Here is an example using [Jaws](https://www.npmjs.org/package/jaws):

```js

// Create a REST interface to our LevelDB

var rest = new LevelREST(levelup('./mydb', {valueEncoding: 'json'}))

// Create a server

var app = jaws()

// Wire up API endpoints

app.route('/api/:endpoint/:id?', function(req, res) {

  var id = req.route.params.id || ''

  var endpoint = req.route.params.endpoint

  var method = req.method.toLowerCase()

  req.pipe(rest[method](endpoint + '/' + id)).pipe(res)

})

```

### With Relationships

> Relationships are a work in progress

```js

rest.get('people').belongsTo('profiles').on('data', function(data) {

  /*

  data = {

  }

  */

})

```
