mean-shadow

This module goes hand in hand with the mean.io stack and allows any mean app to have endpoints to add/remove entities from any third party app.

MEAN is a fullstack javascript platform for modern web applications. MEAN stands for MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and Node.js. You can find it and all the details regarding it in: http://www.mean.io/

After installing this module you should require it by doing:

var options = {
  disableAuth: false,
  authMiddleware: auth.myNewAuthMiddleware
};
var meanShadow = require('../node_modules/mean-shadow')(app, options);

The options object should include "authMiddleware" which is a new middleware you should create inside of the config/middlewares/authorization.js file. If you need to disable the authorization which is a BAD IDEA, just pass "disableAuth: true".

Then in order to add your own logic you can catch a shadow event by doing:

meanShadow.events.on('insert', function(data) {
  // Do some cool and MEAN stuff
});

Thanks to the author Orit Persik for creating this.
