Working usage example in falcor-hapi-demo repo

Usage

Minimalistic example

var FalcorServer = require('falcor-hapi');
var Hapi = require('hapi');
var TestRouter = <your router here>;

var app = new Hapi.Server();
app.connection({
    host: "localhost",
    port: 9090
});

app.route({
    method: ['GET', 'POST'],
    path: '/model.json',
    handler: FalcorServer.dataSourceRoute(function(req, res) {
        return new TestRouter();
    })
});
app.start();

Hapi Plugin Usage

You can also register this module as an Hapi Plugin and use its provided Falcor handler.

Features

• Provides restful router with cached routes out of the box.
• Both the Hapi Request and Reply are available within your routes as this.req and this.reply.
• Validates your routes with JOI.
• You can provide your own initialize method to the router.

• Alternately, you can provide your own Router class and the handler will mixin the logic to cache your routes and the base Falcor router class.

  var Hapi = require('hapi');
  
  var app = new Hapi.Server();
  app.connection({
   host: "localhost",
   port: 9090
  });
  
  app.register(require('falcor-hapi'), function (err) {
  if (err) {
      console.error('Failed to load plugin:', err);
  }
  
  app.route({
    method: ['GET', 'POST'],
    path: '/model.json',
    handler: {
        falcor: {
            routes: routes,                                         // Your routes
            cacheRoutes: true,                                      // Whether to cache your routes, default to true
            options: {debug: true},                                 // Option to give to Falcor router
            initialize: function() {                                // Optional initialize method
               this.foo = this.req.payload.meaningoflife || 42;
            },
            routerClass: MyRouterClass                              // Optional routerClass to use
        }
    }
  });
  
  app.start();
  });

Development

Please run linting before pushing on repo

npm run lint

Todo

• Create mocha test for regression and development instead of using example
