Claytons
The framework you use when you're not using a framework.
Claytons is a scaffolder for HTTP APIs. It will give you the bones of an API using JSON Schema, Restify, RethinkDB, tape and promise-y functional ES6.
To use it:
npm install -g claytons
mdkir my-new-project && cd my-new-project
claytons base project-name-singular project-name-plural
And you'll have a minimal, well thought-out base app scaffold. Next:
claytons controller singular plural
And it will add routes, a controller and database bootstrapping. You'll have Create, Read, Update and Delete. You can pass filter params for any property of your model to search the database on GET. All updates will be checked against your JSON schema for validity.
TODO:
Add text explaining the assertion to all of the test assertions Add special User model type with signin, out, password reset, etc Make it optional whether to use Auth or an internal user store
