beta-middleware

A lightweight (stupid) solution to save beta forms.

Installation

npm install beta-middleware --save

Integration as route

var beta = require('beta-middleware');

app.get('/beta/beta.js', beta.provideClientAPI());

app.post('/beta/:type', beta.route(function(data, callback) {
    mongoose.save(data, callback);
}));

Option	Default value	Description
saveHeaders	true	Includes req.headers into the persistent information.
saveCookies	false	Includes req.cookies into the persistent information.
saveSignedCookies	false	Includes req.signedCookies into the persistent information.
saveSession	false	Includes req.session into the persistent information.

Integration as middleware

var beta = require('beta-middleware');

app.get('/beta/beta.js', beta.provideClientAPI());

app.post('/beta/:type', beta.middleware(function(data, callback) {
   mongoose.save(data, callback);
}), function(req, res) {
    res.render('registration_successful');
});

Additional options (+ save options from above):

Option	Default value	Description
successLocation	-	Redirect URL when information are saved successfully. If defined the Location will set with status code 201. Status 201 without any data will be returned otherwise.
errorLocation	-	Redirect URL when an error occurred. If defined the Location will set with status code 301. Next middleware will be called with an error otherwise.

Full REST service based on Express

var express = require('express'),
	mongoose = require('mongoose'),
	beta = require('beta-middleware/integration/express-mongoose');

app.use('/beta', beta(express, mongoose, {
    readSecret:   'sWZGTh7GiCXTuE3qJHmz5B3tNDwdV3Fb',  // replace this
    deleteSecret: 'MNI2kToBnuIhjFk26IvVBrz83UFnfzcw'   // secret keys!
}));

Route	Status code
POST /beta	201 when successful 301 when an error occurs
GET /beta[?filter] filter example: ?query.abtesting=42	200 when successful, json array 401 when unauthorized 403 when secret doesn't match 500 for other errors
GET /beta/:id	200 when successful, json object 401 when unauthorized 403 when secret doesn't match 404 if id could not be found 500 for other errors
DELETE /beta/:id	204 when successful deleted 401 when unauthorized 403 when secret doesn't match 404 if id could not be found 500 for other errors
