RESTful API

Listing resources support filtering, searching, sorting, and pagination as described below.

Filtering

Add query parameters named after fields to limit results.

$ curl http://localhost/api/v1/menu?name=Fried+Pomphret

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

[
  {
    "uuid": "036b7880-39de-4824-be71-faee4904ceec",
    "restaurantId": "ad426ce2-56b8-43fa-a220-a493ae04f4b2",
    "name": "Fried Pomphret",
    "description": "",
    "type": "Chinese",
    "serves": "Serves 3 - 4",
    "price": "Rs 650",
    "createdAt": "2015-06-05T21:12:16.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2015-06-05T21:12:16.000Z"
  }
]

Search

Use the q parameter to perform a substring search across all fields.

$ curl http://localhost/api/v1/restaurant?q=Ginsoy

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

[
  {
    "uuid": "7a5446ce-bcbb-43c2-83ef-e669e1705020",
    "url": "/karachi/ginsoy-extreme-chinese-smchs",
    "name": "Ginsoy - Extreme Chinese, SMCHS",
    "rating": 4,
    "type": "Chinese",
    "createdAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z"
  },
  {
    "uuid": "99a0cbe3-2f48-47ce-9f65-9a7b2f61ebc4",
    "url": "/karachi/ginsoy-extreme-chinese-khayaban-e-shahbaz",
    "name": "Ginsoy - Extreme Chinese",
    "rating": 4,
    "type": "Chinese",
    "createdAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z"
  },
  {
    "uuid": "caa19815-5506-4168-a1c4-a68d1b05f7d2",
    "url": "/karachi/ginsoy-extreme-chinese-north-nazimabad",
    "name": "Ginsoy Extreme Chinese, North Nazimabad",
    "rating": 3,
    "type": "Chinese",
    "createdAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:46.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:46.000Z"
  }
]

Search behavior can be customized to change the parameter used for searching, as well as which attributes are included in the search, like so:

var resource = epilogue.resource({
    model: model,
    endpoints: ['/restaurant', '/restaurant/:uuid'],
    search: {
      attributes: ['name', 'type']
    }
  });

This is restricting substring searches to the name & type attributes of the model. It can be changed alongwith a param string can be passed, so instead of using q you can use the given string as search parameter.

Sorting

Specify the sort parameter to sort results. Values are field names, optionally preceded by a - to indicate descending order. Multiple sort values may be separated by ,.

$ curl http://localhost/api/v1/restaurant?sort=name

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

[
  {
    "uuid": "7ce29e0a-83a9-46fb-bdb6-ebdce4883928",
    "url": "/karachi/1-pound-fish-defense",
    "name": "1 Pound Fish",
    "rating": 3,
    "type": "BBQ, Seafood",
    "createdAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z"
  },
  {
    "uuid": "38588920-f109-4357-9dd5-55c200f3804d",
    "url": "/karachi/14th-street-pizza",
    "name": "14th Street Pizza, Karachi",
    "rating": 4,
    "type": "Pizza",
    "createdAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2015-06-05T21:09:47.000Z"
  }
]

Sort behavior can be customized to change the parameter used for sorting, as well as which attributes are allowed to be used for sorting like so:

  var resource = epilogue.resource({
    model: model,
    endpoints: ['/menu', '/menu/:uuid'],
    sort: {
      attributes: ['name', 'type', 'price']
    }
  });

This is restricting sorting to only the name, type & price attributes of the model.

By default all attributes defined on the model are allowed to be sorted on (Thanks, Epilogue <3). Sorting on a attribute not allowed will cause a 400 error to be returned with errors in the format:

$ curl http://localhost/users?sortby=invalid,-otherinvalid,valid

HTTP/1.1 400 BAD REQUEST
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "message": "Sorting not allowed on given attributes",
  "errors": ["invalid", "otherinvalid"]
}

Pagination

List routes support pagination via offset or page and count query parameters. Find metadata about pagination and number of results in the Content-Range response header. Pagination defaults to a default of 100 results per page, and a maximum of 1000 results per page.

# get the third page of results
$ curl http://localhost/api/v1/restaurant?offset=300&count=100

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Range: items 200-299/3230

[
  { "name": "Subway, Clifton Block 8", ... },
  ...
]

Alternatively, you can specify that pagination is disabled for a given resource by passing false to the pagination property like so:

  var resource = epilogue.resource({
    model: model,
    endpoints: ['/menu', '/menu/:uuid'],
    pagination: false
  });
