Overview

@uteamjs/node is a backend RESTful API framework built on top of the Node.js and Express.js ecosystem. It can be deployed alone or together with frontend @uteamjs/react framework. It is not required to set up any API endpoint in Express.js. You simply put the backend functions in standard node_modules component structure. This helps to simplify the deployment and management of complex enterprise applications.

Auto API endpoint routing
Hot loading module
Simplify database access
Stateless API with JWT authentication
Advanced flow control

Integrate with @uteamjs/react

In this following example, the name of the reducer ‘crud-api/contact’ defines the <package>/<component> destination.

const reducer = utReducer('crud-api/contact', {
   actions: {
       ...
       load: (_, payload) => _.rows = payload.rows
   }
})

class layout extends utform {
   constructor(props) {
       ...
       props.api('load', {})
   }
   ...
}

In the server you need to create a contact.js file under the following folder structure:

//your-application/

    ...

    packages/

        crud-api/

            contact.js

            ...

Under the contact.js file, add the load function:

const { sqlseries, capitalize } = require('@uteamjs/node')

exports.load = sqlseries((db, payload) => [
   db.query('select * from contact', rows => {
       rows.forEach(t => t.gender = capitalize(t.gender))
       payload.rows = rows
   })
])

The frontend props.api('load', {}) function will be routed to the backend export.load function automatically.

After you execute the query, assign the result rows to the payload object.

Corresponding frontend layout:

class layout extends _layout {
   constructor(props) {
       super(props)
       props.api('load', {})
   }

   render = () => this.Content()
}
