I'm trying to make a generic controller that will provide the basic crud routes, the idea is to extend this controller and be able to add some custom routes that are inherent only to that class.
Here's an example:
export default class BaseController {
constructor(model, key) {
this.model = model;
this.modelName = model.modelName.toLowerCase();
this.key = key;
}
route() {
const router = new Router();
router.get("/", (req, res) => {
this
.list()
.then(ok(res))
.then(null, fail(res));
});
router.post("/", (req, res) => {
this
.create(req.body)
.then(ok(res))
.then(null, fail(res));
});
router.get("/:key", (req, res) => {
this
.read(req.params.key)
.then(ok(res))
.then(null, fail(res));
});
router.put("/:key", (req, res) => {
this
.update(req.params.key, req.body)
.then(ok(res))
.then(null, fail(res)); user
});
router.delete("/:key", (req, res) => {
this
.delete(req.params.key)
.then(ok(res))
.then(null, fail(res));
});
return router;
}
}
And in my child class would be:
export default class UserController extends BaseController {
constructor() {
super(User, '_id');
}
route() {
let router = super.route();
router.get('/foo', (req, res) => {
res.send('foo ');
});
return router;
}
}But the route simply does not exist when I try to access " link ", it follows code that registers the routes:
import { version } from '../../package.json';
import { Router } from 'express';
import facets from './facets';
import { UserController } from '../controllers';
export default ({ config, db }) => {
let api = Router();
// mount the facets resource
api.use('/facets', facets({ config, db }));
api.use('/user', new UserController().route());
// perhaps expose some API metadata at the root
api.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.json({ version });
});
return api;
}The route object is returning from the super-filled class but nothing works, what am I doing wrong?
