Vatican attemps to be a micro-framework for creating APIs as quickly as possible. One of the key features of Vatican is the use of annotations on methods to define the endpoints of the API.
For a full code example of an app using Vatican, check out this repo: https://github.com/deleteman/vatican-example
$ npm install vatican$ npm test- Check out VaticanJS official documentation: https://www.fernandodoglio.com/vaticanjs-docs
- Added support for OPTIONS methods
- Added endpoint versioning support
- Added on-ready event, to avoid code referencing handler that haven't been parsed yet.
- Added on-ready event for the database, this way, working with DB events and Vatican's events works the same way
- Removed the need to start working with dbStart
- Added SERVER-READY event, optional, if you want to be notified when the HTTP server is up and running
- Added support for ES6 classes as resource handlers
- Changed generator code to create ES6 compatible classes for resource handlers
- Cleaned-up some code
- Added close method on main server.
- Fixed bug #30
- Added new name attribute to @endpoint annotation
- Added ability to set pre-processors on specific endpoints by name
- Added model generator working with MongoDB
- Auto generate handlers method's code based on their name
- New generate syntax, allowing to specify attributes, types and http methods
- Added index.js and package.json generator
- Added tests to main components (Still needs more work)
- Added removal of comments on handlers files, so now if you comment out an endpoint, it won't be parsed.
- Improved handler parser regex
- Improved general processing of handler file code.
- Changed request parser to auto-parse content of PUT and POST requests into JSON (when possible)
- Fixed bug causing incorrect parsing of post/put body content
- Fixed bug preventing the handlers from loading installed modules using 'require'
- Fixed bug causing problems with the pre-processing chain and the handler methods.
- Fixed bug causing vatican to match incorrecly urls with similar templates
- Changed preprocessing chain, so that now handler methods recieve the next function and can trigger the generic error handler functions
- Fixed support for PUT requests
- Added configuration overwrite on Vatican constructor and cli commands
- Added callback function to start method of Vatican called after successful start of http server.
- Updated cli help
- Handlers are now stored in-memory after the first time they're loaded, so they're not loaded on every request.
- Added pre-processor to request
- Added post-processor to response
- Fixed bug causing incorrect request parsing on non-post requests.
- Changed default handler folder for create command
- Minor readme fixes
- Added create new project command
- Minor fixes on readme
