Proof of Concept - Generating UI and DB-connected CRUD REST API from a single schema

Prerequisites

• Install MongoDB and make sure it's running on default port 27017.
• Also make sure you have NodeJS installed.

How to run?

Backend:

cd backend
npm install
npm run start

Frontend:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run start

Frontend runs on http://localhost:3000
Backend runs on http://localhost:3001/api/v1
For example: GET http://localhost:3001/api/v1/AudioInputDevices

TODO:

• Find a way to convert UI-Schema to JSON-Schema for sue with express-restify-mongoose
• Generate DB-connected REST API automatically for all (array of obejcts-)schemas found in common/schemas
• Generate a UI from an (object)-schema (common/schemas/Test.json)
• Generate a Table UI from an (array of objects)-schema (common/schemas/AudioInputDevices.json)
• Make the table editable or have an Add/Edit form and buttons for Add/Edit/Delete
• Make the table interact with the REST API.
• In the end there should be a simple REACT component that takes a schema name as a parameter (e.g. "AudioInputDevices") and automatically loads common/schemas/AudioInputDevices.json from that and connects it with the REST API. Maybe an apiBaseUrl param would make sense, which would be http://localhost:3001/api/v1 in this case.
