Hey all, good evening from Tokyo.
I've been working on a REST API facelift recently for a client, and
extracted out what I learned into a library.
It's called Sajak: Simple Authenticated JSON API Kit.
It's a zero-dependency (but Express/Connect compatible) module in ~270
LOC that turns a collection of model constructors into an http
listener that handles HATEOAS-friendly resolution, routing,
authentication, and authorization for you, like this:
```
var http = require("http")
, sajak = require("sajak")
, server = http.createServer()
function User(){ ... }
User.prototype = {
authenticate: function(auth, cb){ ... },
save: function(cb){ ... },
fetch: function(cb){ ... }
}
function TodoItem(){ ... }
TodoItem.prototype = {
authorize: function(user, action, cb){ ... },
save: function(cb){ ... },
fetch: function(cb){ ... },
destroy: function(cb){ ... }
}
server.on("request", sajak([User, TodoItem]).router)
server.listen(3000)
```
Sajak wires everything up so that you don't have to pepper your routes
with redundant/tedious/error-prone
authentication/authorization/resolution logic. It's useful as a
JSON-only API framework, or as a drop-in replacement for your
Express/Connect API router.
