I know this is a late response but I just discovered Flatiron and I found
it's modularity, RVP pattern, and use of Schema JSON with resources to be
refreshing in the JS MVC ecosystem of solutions. I found myself
implementing something similar within Django called hyperadmin and was
excited to see a fresh take at some of the same challenges. IMHO flatiron

`nodejitsu/jitsu` and `nodejitsu/forever` are nice examples of a CLI
application.
`nodejitsu/haibu` could do as an HTTP application.

Hey everyone,
I'm loving resourceful and needed to quickly whip up a working API that
returns data, so I created a simple way to generate fake data from
Resourceful models. It could probably be useful for testing or rapidly
creating APIs:

It needs support for JSON mocks and additional types as well as validation

any luck in finding complex examples on github?

Any good example codebase?

vinod.kulka...@gmail.com (Vinod Kulkarni) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 06:43:02 UT

Is there any sufficiently complex project done using FlatIron, available
publically on github?
For e.g. I am interested in somewhat equivalent complexity of calipso,
which is CMS in node.js.

Hey Marak

Sad to hear all this.

You've entertained me tonnes and I've learnt a lot from your code.

best of luck with Future endeavours.

Internet Friends -

I'm sure it will come as a pleasant surprise for most of you to hear I'm
leaving node.js for good. I'll also be stepping down from any involvement
with Flatiron and completely shutting down hook.io

In all honesty, I don't think there is much of a loss here for anyone.

The Flatiron framework is pretty much pointless and I'd advise against

Re: [flatironjs] defining routes as a structure

marak.squi...@gmail.com (Marak Squires) — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 01:46:33 UT

The issue is probably with this:

var routes = {
'/test': {
get: { "hello": "world" }
}

module.exports = routes;

Not sure what that routing table is suppose to do. The format looks
invalid.

yes, i just found this:

it still doesn't "work" - i curl and it just sits there, but it isn't
crashing ... so, do i still need {"get": function() { ..... res.end(); } } ?
i'm going back to the docs for now...

You can also follow the example you posted which uses the following syntax:

*var router = new director.http.Router(routes);
*

app.router is a Director.router instance. You can't override it like that.
Maybe you can try setting app.router.routes, but I don't think that would
work either.

There should be an API method for adding routes as JSON. Should be in the
README as "mount"

mount(routes, path)

- routes {object}: Partial routing table to insert into this instance.

Re: [flatironjs] Querystrings?

garrett.wil...@gmail.com (Garrett Wilkin) — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:31:19 UT

Is the best way to handle querystrings to use just use the simple route
definition:
app.router.get('/force',functi on() {
and then work with this.req.query?
the only complication I see there is detecting whether or not
this.req.query is an empty object. I'm getting good google results for
checking for empty objects though, so I think I should be able to hop over

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for the quick reply! I guess that the answer is that I should be
using the regex functionality that comes with director. I wonder if
handling querystrings are a common enough use case for URL routing that an
example might be warranted in the docs? It seems like a good use case for
