[ANN] Restifier -- Easy RESTful route creation for Mongoose/Express applications
Ian Macalinao
I have recently released Restifier (https://github.com/simplyianm/restifier), a tool which generates a RESTful API for your Node applications. Here are some features (from the README):
- Tight integration with Mongoose and Express.
- An Express middleware. Put it on its own route and the rest of your code is left untouched.
- Configured within the Mongoose schema. No need to deal with messy configuration objects.
- Query/Create/Get/Update/Destroy
- Everything you'd ever need from a REST API (other than auth) is already included.
- Middleware supported on each route, so integration with things like Passport is very simple
- Flexible query filtering system.
- Document transformer system. Control what gets sent to which clients.
- Built with Angular in mind.
I built this when dealing with Firebase, as I realized I wanted something self-hosted and less complicated. I really just needed a simple backend for CRUD apps. It works really well with Restangular (check out https://github.com/simplyianm/todo-restifier) and other REST clients.
This is my first sizable Node module I've released, so I would really appreciate feedback etc. Also, tell me if you don't understand a feature; I will update the documentation to make it more readable if people want it! I just a freshman in college, so I want to start contributing to the open source community early.
Thanks,
Ian Macalinao

Hey Ian,
You might want to think about changing the name of the project. restify already exists
and is similar enough to Express that people are almost inevitably
going to end up confused when they look at Restifier and it's not
Restify and it's meant for use with Express.
