jec-sandcat

JEC Sandcat Project

Sandcat is the standard implementation of the JavaScript API for RESTful Services*(JARS)* specification for GlassCat JEC applications.

Requirements

Sandcat needs the following system parameters in order to work correctly:

• Node 6+
• npm 3+
• TypeScript 2+

Installation

Set up the Sandcat module with:

$ npm install jec-sandcat --save

Sandcat Framework Initialization

You have to configure the Sandcat framework within a standard Bootstrap class in order to detect JARS decorators:

import {Bootstrap, BootstrapScript, JecContainer} from "jec-common";
import {SandcatBuilder} from "jec-sandcat";
 
@Bootstrap()
export class InitApp implements BootstrapScript {
 
  public run(container:JecContainer):void {
    new SandcatBuilder().build(container)
                        .process((err:any)=>{
                          if(err) {
                            throw new Error("Invalid JARS config: " + err);
                          }
                        });
  }
}

All-in-one frameworks initialization

Sandcat is compatible with the JEC container delegation API. So, you can use the @ContainersConfig decorator in order to initialize Sandcat with other JEC frameworks:

import {Bootstrap, BootstrapScript, JecContainer, ContainersConfig} from "jec-commons";
import {SandcatBuilder} from "jec-sandcat";
import {MyFrameworkBuilder} from "my-framework";
 
@Bootstrap()
export class InitApp implements BootstrapScript {
 
  @ContainersConfig([
    { builder: SandcatBuilder },
    { builder: MyFrameworkBuilder }
  ])
  public run(container:JecContainer):void {}
}

Using JARS Decorators

All JARS decorators have to be imported with the ES6 syntax:

import {ResourcePath, GET, Exit} from "jec-jars";
 
@ResourcePath("/hello")
export class Hello {
 
  @GET()
  public sayHelloWorld(@Exit exit:Function):void {
      exit("Hello World!");
  }
}

For a complete list of available decorators, please refer to the JARS project.

Running Tests

To execute all unit tests, use:

$ npm test

API Reference

The API Reference documentation is not included into the Sandcat node module. To build the API reference documentation, use:

$ grunt doc

Documentation will be generated in the docs/api-reference repository. The online version of the API reference documentation will be available soon at the JEC Website.

The documentation generator is TypeDoc
