Bootstrap

module.exports = { modules: [ //place modules name here. ], };

ORM

ORM provide following static variables:

• ORM.lowercase
  • lowercase name of the class
• ORM.key
  • local key of the class
• ORM.tableName
  • table name of the class
• ORM.fields
  • fields of the class
• ORM.belongsTo
  • list of the class belongs

Controller

Controller provide basic flow of execution.

1. constructor
2. before
3. action_xxx
4. after

it also provide basic function

1. redirect(location);
2. notFound(msg);

default action:

1. action_index

Controller Mixin

We can use extends to provide addition features to controller, but it will increase complexity and unused functions to child classes.

Controller Mixin introduced to prevent problems create by extends.

//sample controller mixin
class SampleMixin extends ControllerMixin{

//client is a controller
constructor(client)

//add function on before
async before()
async after()

//manually called by client controller
action_index()
action_something()

//additional functions
getView(path, data)
moreFunctions(arg)

}

sample code to add mixin in controller

class ControllerView extends Controller{
  constructor(request, response){
    super(request, response);
    //add mixin in constructor
    this.addMixin(new SampleMixin(this));
  }
  
  action_index(){
    this.tpl = this.getView('home', {});
  }
}
