Hapi js app

Hapi-App

The purpose of this app is to show a new way to work with Hapi.js, Mongodb, Mongoose

The Goal:

Create a base boilerplate dashboard app, with seperate GUI and API server processes. Quick development of RESTful Resource api endpoints.

The Stack:

Node.js - Because it's fast, easy to get started, and Javscript is awesome. http://nodejs.org/

Hapi - A very well designed server framework that is easy to understand, easy to create your own plugins, scales very well, cache options built in, and more. http://hapijs.com/

Mongo - A great NoSQL database that handles JSON natively, perfect fit for Node.js projects. http://www.mongodb.org/

Creating HAPI Server

var server = new Hapi.Server();

server.connection({ port: app.config.server.port });

//server.route(Routes.endpoints);
 server.views({
 	engines: { html: require('handlebars') },
 	layout : true,
 	path: __dirname + '/views',
		layoutPath : Path.join(__dirname, './views/layouts'), //setting Global Layout,
		partialsPath : Path.join(__dirname,'./views/layouts/partial') //partial Views
	});

 server.route(Routes.endpoints);
 server.register({
 	register : Good,
 	options : {
 		reporters : [{
 			reporter : require('good-console'),
 			events : {
 				response : '*',
 				log:'*'
 			}
 		}]
 	}
 }, function(error) {
 	if(error) {
 		throw error;
 	}
	 server.start(function(){
	 	console.log("Server running on", server.info.uri);
	 });
});
