Maglev is a simple pre configured server based on [Express](http://expressjs.com/) web framework, [Passport](http://passportjs.org/) authentication middleware and [Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/) database layer.
Maglev supports MVC patterns and RESTful routes.
## Install
```sh
npm install maglev
```
## Features
* Predefined models and controllers (User, Token, Role, Permission, Logic...)
* Extended routing for REST api based on Express
* Token and session authentication
* Role based access system
* [Swig](http://paularmstrong.github.io/swig/) template system with custom helpers
## Require
Maglev is using two peerDependencies [Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/) and [express-session](https://github.com/expressjs/session). Please add it into your package.json if you want to use mongoose.
## Usage
```js
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Server = require('maglev');
var server = new Server({
root: __dirname,
db: mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/maglev'),
session: {
secret: '123456789'
},
favicon: false
});
server.start();
```
## Directory Structure
* *controllers* Contains the controllers that handle requests sent to an application.
* *models* Contains the models for accessing and storing data in a database.
* *views* Contains the views and layouts that are rendered by an application.
* *public* Static files and compiled assets served by the application.
## Models
Define new model
```js
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
function createSchema() {
var schema = new Schema({
city: { type: String, required: true },
street: { type: String, required: true },
state: { type: String, required: true }
});
return schema;
}
module.exports = function (server) {
return server.db.model('Address', createSchema());
};
```
## Routes
```js
var token = require('maglev/dist/controllers/token');
var message = require('../controllers/message');
module.exports = function(route) {
route
.api()
.get('/messages', token.ensure, message.get)
.put('/messages/mark/read/:id', token.ensure, message.markAsRead)
.put('/messages/mark/unread/:id', token.ensure, message.markAsUnread);
};
```
