restify/node-restify

node.js REST framework specifically meant for web service APIs

@mcavage – regarding the restify clients: can a single instance efficiently deal with multiple requests simultaneously? Or should they be used more as one off instances within a single request?

For instance, is this an ok way to use it? https://gist.github.com/dandean/4d29006129aef4fb1797

Or should the userServiceClient be created within the server.get('/user') handler?

Is it a good idea to inherit from Server class?

Question. Can someone please explain serverStatic ? At the root, we have a directory called ‘_book’ . In our server.js file we have

server.get(/\/_book.*/, restify.serveStatic({
directory: __dirname,
default: 'index.html'
}))

but on the second refresh the css doesnt load

we load the url /_book, works... then refresh the page and it doesnt load the css. It loads the html though.

hi everybody! somebody is using that?

I am building an application with restify Json client and when I run the program, the function that use the client finalize but the client is running... so is like the client is asynchronous javascript

@luchanz

I started using restify last night to flesh out a replacement for something I've been doing, within minutes I was really pleased with the results. Feels like this will make my life a tad easier, so thanks very much!

@nelsonic

@barisbalic what were you using before?

Baris Balic

@barisbalic

@nelsonic you're everywhere!

Grape.

Was tempted to throw express at the problem, but was expecting some impedance when it came to auth, access control, rate limiting, etc. But handlers and the call chaining will make it all trivial

(in restify)

Nelson

@nelsonic

@barisbalic oh. fair enough. yeah restify owns grape.

Baris Balic

@barisbalic

Is 'oh' an expression of surprise?

Does anyone know if you can easily set a base url for all routes with restify? We have the version of our api in the url and I want to avoid typing "/v1/resource" for every route.

Austin Riendeau

@apriendeau

There use to be a project called restify-namespace. Don’t know if its still being developed or not.

Rachael

@rkstedman

thanks @apriendeau I'll check it out

@mpareja

We're using it, but it is limited to simple routes.

(Disclaimer, I wrote the thing.... lol)

It's got solid test coverage, we just haven't had the need for regex-based routes. /cc @rkstedman

Building dtrace-provider failed with exit code 1 and signal 0 <-- anyone knows what is up with this?

Anyone available to point me in the right direction for debugging? A route is working perfectly okay on localhost; however, when deployed on Heroku, I receive a 405 Method Not Allowed.

@tombradev

Hii, is anyone having an issue installing with npm install restify??

@nparsons08, sorted?

@moszeed

@rkstedman could you find a solution for the base url problem ? the restify-namespace solution does not work with our restify server ...

@hellboy81

Hi, Is there good practices to prevent DDOS attacks on services that uses node-restify?

Rachael

@rkstedman

@moszeed I ended up writing my own little helper function - https://gist.github.com/rkstedman/1a66fb733cd9c48fb43b

@NickGlenn

Quick question: is it possible create a separate route object and then add it to a server object via use(), similar to Express? It would be nice to group routes and define middleware for that group in an isolated manner.

@barisbalic

@mcavage I am using restify for a couple of APIs, each of which will expose an endpoint then pipe the request through a series of middlewares, some decorate the request for later stages in the pipeline, others decorate the response. I'm not particularly happy about the way I'm arbitrarily adding to the response, but I can't think of a better way to do this. I am also using the on('after') callback to actually return the response, because I always have the ready-built response by the end of the pipeline.

Adam Creeger

@acreeger

@barisbalic Have you looked at "formatters" to decorate the response? http://mcavage.me/node-restify/#content-negotiation

Baris Balic

@barisbalic

@acreeger, I've seen that but the decoration is dependent on the route, and I would still need to res.send explicitly.

(unless I am missing something obvious)

@hellboy81

What is the best way to rewrite http PUT request to restify.HttpClient

http.request( {
   hostname: ..,
   port: ...,
   path: ...
   method: 'PUT'
})

the returned request stream should be used with pipe

hellboy81

@hellboy81

Is there possible with HttpClient to pipe put stream ?

@vorpalhex

Hey, is the underlying Router exposed so I can chain my routes off of it, Express style?
