A complete example sharing of Node.js RESTful API implementation-JS Tutorial-php.cn

This article mainly introduces an example of implementing a complete Node.js RESTful API. The editor thinks it is quite good, so I will share it with you now and give it as a reference. Let’s follow the editor and take a look.

Preface

This article is a summary of the book Building APIs with Node.js. It is very useful for me to write interfaces in Node.js. For example, in the initial stage of the project, I can quickly simulate network requests. Precisely because it is written in js, its direct connection with iOS is closer than that of backends written in other languages.

This book is very well written, and the author's coding ideas are extremely clear. Although the whole book is written in English, it is easy to read. At the same time, it completely constructs a complete set of logic for RESTful API.

I prefer to write some functional responsive programs. Passing functions as data or parameters is very attractive to me.

From the construction of the program, to the design of the error catching mechanism, to the testing tasks of the program, this is a complete process. This article will be very long, I will paste the code of each core concept.

Program entrance

Everyone should know about the Express framework. It provides a wealth of functions. I won’t explain them here. Let’s look at the code in the project first:

import express from "express"
import consign from "consign"

const app = express();

/// 在使用include或者then的时候，是有顺序的，如果传入的参数是一个文件夹
/// 那么他会按照文件夹中文件的顺序进行加载
consign({verbose: false})
 .include("libs/config.js")
 .then("db.js")
 .then("auth.js")
 .then("libs/middlewares.js")
 .then("routers")
 .then("libs/boot.js")
 .into(app);

module.exports = app;

Whether it is models, views or routers, they will be processed and configured by Express. Views are not used in this project. Express configures the functions of the entire project through the app, but we cannot write all parameters and methods into this file, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain when the project is large.

I have very little experience in using Node.js, but the above code gives me the feeling that it is extremely concise and the ideas are extremely clear. Importing other modules through the consign module makes the code look very elegant.

@note: The order of import is important.

Here, the app is used like a global variable, which we will show in the following content. After importing in sequence, we can access the content of the module in this way:

app.db
app.auth
app.libs....

Model Design

In my opinion, requirements analysis is the most important before starting any project. After demand analysis, we will have a big concept about code design.

What is the essence of coding? I think it is the storage and transmission of data, and we also need to consider performance and security issues

So our second task is to design a data model that can also reflect the results of our demand analysis. There are two models in this project, User and Task. Each task corresponds to a user. A user can have multiple tasks

User model:

import bcrypt from "bcrypt"

module.exports = (sequelize, DataType) => {
 "use strict";
 const Users = sequelize.define("Users", {
  id: {
   type: DataType.INTEGER,
   primaryKey: true,
   autoIncrement: true
  },
  name: {
   type: DataType.STRING,
   allowNull: false,
   validate: {
    notEmpty: true
   }
  },
  password: {
   type: DataType.STRING,
   allowNull: false,
   validate: {
    notEmpty: true
   }
  },
  email: {
   type: DataType.STRING,
   unique: true,
   allowNull: false,
   validate: {
    notEmpty: true
   }
  }
 }, {
  hooks: {
   beforeCreate: user => {
    const salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync();
    user.password = bcrypt.hashSync(user.password, salt);
   }
  }
 });
 Users.associate = (models) => {
  Users.hasMany(models.Tasks);
 };
 Users.isPassword = (encodedPassword, password) => {
  return bcrypt.compareSync(password, encodedPassword);
 };

 return Users;
};

Task model:

module.exports = (sequelize, DataType) => {
 "use strict";
 const Tasks = sequelize.define("Tasks", {
  id: {
   type: DataType.INTEGER,
   primaryKey: true,
   autoIncrement: true
  },
  title: {
   type: DataType.STRING,
   allowNull: false,
   validate: {
    notEmpty: true
   }
  },
  done: {
   type: DataType.BOOLEAN,
   allowNull: false,
   defaultValue: false
  }
 });
 Tasks.associate = (models) => {
  Tasks.belongsTo(models.Users);
 };
 return Tasks;
};

This project uses the sqlite that comes with the system as the database. Of course, other databases can also be used. This is not the case. Whether the restriction is relational or non-relational. In order to better manage data, we use the sequelize module to manage the database.

In order to save space, I will not introduce these modules. Just search them on Google and you will find them. In the development of Node.js that I have seen, there are many management modules for this kind of ORM, such as mongoose that manages MongoDB. There are many, many, and their main idea is Scheme.

In the above code, we defined the output and input templates of the model, and verified some specific fields, so errors from the database may occur during use. These We will explain the errors below.

Tasks.associate = (models) => {
  Tasks.belongsTo(models.Users);
};

Users.associate = (models) => {
 Users.hasMany(models.Tasks);
};
Users.isPassword = (encodedPassword, password) => {
 return bcrypt.compareSync(password, encodedPassword);
};

Copy after login

hasMany and belongsTo represent an association attribute, and Users.isPassword is a class method. The bcrypt module can encrypt passwords.

Database

We already know above that we use the sequelize module to manage the database. In fact, at the simplest level, the database only needs to give us data models. After we get these models, we can complete various CRUD operations according to different needs.

import fs from "fs"
import path from "path"
import Sequelize from "sequelize"

let db = null;


module.exports = app => {
 "use strict";
 if (!db) {
  const config = app.libs.config;
  const sequelize = new Sequelize(
   config.database,
   config.username,
   config.password,
   config.params
  );

  db = {
   sequelize,
   Sequelize,
   models: {}
  };

  const dir = path.join(__dirname, "models");

  fs.readdirSync(dir).forEach(file => {
   const modelDir = path.join(dir, file);
   const model = sequelize.import(modelDir);
   db.models[model.name] = model;
  });

  Object.keys(db.models).forEach(key => {
   db.models[key].associate(db.models);
  });
 }
 return db;
};

Copy after login

The above code is very simple. db is an object. It stores all models, in this case User and Task. Get the model through sequelize.import, and then call the associate method written before.

After the above function is called, db is returned. The db contains the model we need. At this point, we have established a database connection as a support for the subsequent code.

CRUD

CRUD is in the router, let’s first look at the code of router/tasks.js:

module.exports = app => {
 "use strict";
 const Tasks = app.db.models.Tasks;

 app.route("/tasks")
  .all(app.auth.authenticate())

  .get((req, res) => {
   console.log(`req.body: ${req.body}`);
   Tasks.findAll({where: {user_id: req.user.id} })
    .then(result => res.json(result))
    .catch(error => {
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  })

  .post((req, res) => {
   req.body.user_id = req.user.id;
   Tasks.create(req.body)
    .then(result => res.json(result))
    .catch(error => {
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  });

 app.route("/tasks/:id")
  .all(app.auth.authenticate())

  .get((req, res) => {
   Tasks.findOne({where: {
    id: req.params.id,
    user_id: req.user.id
   }})
    .then(result => {
     if (result) {
      res.json(result);
     } else {
      res.sendStatus(412);
     }
    })
    .catch(error => {
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  })

  .put((req, res) => {
   Tasks.update(req.body, {where: {
    id: req.params.id,
    user_id: req.user.id
   }})
    .then(result => res.sendStatus(204))
    .catch(error => {
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  })

  .delete((req, res) => {
   Tasks.destroy({where: {
    id: req.params.id,
    user_id: req.user.id
   }})
    .then(result => res.sendStatus(204))
    .catch(error => {
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  });
};

再看看 router/users.js 的代码：

module.exports = app => {
 "use strict";
 const Users = app.db.models.Users;

 app.route("/user")
  .all(app.auth.authenticate())

 .get((req, res) => {
   Users.findById(req.user.id, {
    attributes: ["id", "name", "email"]
   })
    .then(result => res.json(result))
    .catch(error => {
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  })

  .delete((req, res) => {
  console.log(`delete..........${req.user.id}`);
   Users.destroy({where: {id: req.user.id}})
    .then(result => {
     console.log(`result: ${result}`);
     return res.sendStatus(204);
    })
    .catch(error => {
     console.log(`resultfsaddfsf`);
     res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
    });
  });

 app.post("/users", (req, res) => {
  Users.create(req.body)
   .then(result => res.json(result))
   .catch(error => {
    res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
   });
 });
};

这些路由写起来比较简单，上边的代码中，基本思想就是根据模型操作CRUD，包括捕获异常。但是额外的功能是做了authenticate，也就是授权操作。

这一块好像没什么好说的，基本上都是固定套路。

授权

在网络环境中，不能老是传递用户名和密码。这时候就需要一些授权机制，该项目中采用的是JWT授权(JSON Wbb Toknes)，有兴趣的同学可以去了解下这个授权，它也是按照一定的规则生成token。

因此对于授权而言，最核心的部分就是如何生成token。

import jwt from "jwt-simple"

module.exports = app => {
 "use strict";
 const cfg = app.libs.config;
 const Users = app.db.models.Users;

 app.post("/token", (req, res) => {
  const email = req.body.email;
  const password = req.body.password;
  if (email && password) {
   Users.findOne({where: {email: email}})
    .then(user => {
     if (Users.isPassword(user.password, password)) {
      const payload = {id: user.id};
      res.json({
       token: jwt.encode(payload, cfg.jwtSecret)
      });
     } else {
      res.sendStatus(401);
     }
    })
    .catch(error => res.sendStatus(401));
  } else {
   res.sendStatus(401);
  }
 });
};

Copy after login

上边代码中，在得到邮箱和密码后，再使用 jwt-simple 模块生成一个token。

JWT在这也不多说了，它由三部分组成，这个在它的官网中解释的很详细。

我觉得老外写东西一个最大的优点就是文档很详细。要想弄明白所有组件如何使用，最好的方法就是去他们的官网看文档，当然这要求英文水平还可以。

授权一般分两步：

生成token
验证token

如果从前端传递一个token过来，我们怎么解析这个token，然后获取到token里边的用户信息呢？

import passport from "passport";
import {Strategy, ExtractJwt} from "passport-jwt";

module.exports = app => {
 const Users = app.db.models.Users;
 const cfg = app.libs.config;
 const params = {
  secretOrKey: cfg.jwtSecret,
  jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken()
 };
 var opts = {};
 opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderWithScheme("JWT");
 opts.secretOrKey = cfg.jwtSecret;

 const strategy = new Strategy(opts, (payload, done) => {
  Users.findById(payload.id)
   .then(user => {
    if (user) {
     return done(null, {
      id: user.id,
      email: user.email
     });
    }
    return done(null, false);
   })
   .catch(error => done(error, null));
 });
 passport.use(strategy);

 return {
  initialize: () => {
   return passport.initialize();
  },
  authenticate: () => {
   return passport.authenticate("jwt", cfg.jwtSession);
  }
 };
};

Copy after login

这就用到了 passport 和 passport-jwt 这两个模块。 passport 支持很多种授权。不管是iOS还是Node中，验证都需要指定一个策略，这个策略是最灵活的一层。

授权需要在项目中提前进行配置,也就是初始化， app.use(app.auth.initialize()); 。

如果我们想对某个接口进行授权验证，那么只需要像下边这么用就可以了：

.all(app.auth.authenticate())

.get((req, res) => {
 console.log(`req.body: ${req.body}`);
 Tasks.findAll({where: {user_id: req.user.id} })
  .then(result => res.json(result))
  .catch(error => {
   res.status(412).json({msg: error.message});
  });
})

Copy after login

配置

Node.js中一个很有用的思想就是middleware，我们可以利用这个手段做很多有意思的事情：

import bodyParser from "body-parser"
import express from "express"
import cors from "cors"
import morgan from "morgan"
import logger from "./logger"
import compression from "compression"
import helmet from "helmet"

module.exports = app => {
 "use strict";
 app.set("port", 3000);
 app.set("json spaces", 4);
 console.log(`err ${JSON.stringify(app.auth)}`);
 app.use(bodyParser.json());
 app.use(app.auth.initialize());
 app.use(compression());
 app.use(helmet());
 app.use(morgan("common", {
  stream: {
   write: (message) => {
    logger.info(message);
   }
  }
 }));
 app.use(cors({
  origin: ["http://localhost:3001"],
  methods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
  allowedHeaders: ["Content-Type", "Authorization"]
 }));
 app.use((req, res, next) => {
  // console.log(`header: ${JSON.stringify(req.headers)}`);
  if (req.body && req.body.id) {
   delete req.body.id;
  }
  next();
 });

 app.use(express.static("public"));
};

Copy after login

上边的代码中包含了很多新的模块，app.set表示进行设置，app.use表示使用middleware。

测试

写测试代码是我平时很容易疏忽的地方，说实话，这么重要的部分不应该被忽视。

import jwt from "jwt-simple"

describe("Routes: Users", () => {
 "use strict";
 const Users = app.db.models.Users;
 const jwtSecret = app.libs.config.jwtSecret;
 let token;

 beforeEach(done => {
  Users
   .destroy({where: {}})
   .then(() => {
    return Users.create({
     name: "Bond",
     email: "Bond@mc.com",
     password: "123456"
    });
   })
   .then(user => {
    token = jwt.encode({id: user.id}, jwtSecret);
    done();
   });
 });

 describe("GET /user", () => {
  describe("status 200", () => {
   it("returns an authenticated user", done => {
    request.get("/user")
     .set("Authorization", `JWT ${token}`)
     .expect(200)
     .end((err, res) => {
      expect(res.body.name).to.eql("Bond");
      expect(res.body.email).to.eql("Bond@mc.com");
      done(err);
     });
   });
  });
 });

 describe("DELETE /user", () => {
  describe("status 204", () => {
   it("deletes an authenticated user", done => {
    request.delete("/user")
     .set("Authorization", `JWT ${token}`)
     .expect(204)
     .end((err, res) => {
      console.log(`err: ${err}`);
      done(err);
     });
   });
  });
 });

 describe("POST /users", () => {
  describe("status 200", () => {
   it("creates a new user", done => {
    request.post("/users")
     .send({
      name: "machao",
      email: "machao@mc.com",
      password: "123456"
     })
     .expect(200)
     .end((err, res) => {
      expect(res.body.name).to.eql("machao");
      expect(res.body.email).to.eql("machao@mc.com");
      done(err);
     });
   });
  });
 });
});

测试主要依赖下边的这几个模块：

import supertest from "supertest"
import chai from "chai"
import app from "../index"

global.app = app;
global.request = supertest(app);
global.expect = chai.expect;

Copy after login

其中 supertest 用来发请求的， chai 用来判断是否成功。

使用 mocha 测试框架来进行测试：

"test": "NODE_ENV=test mocha test/**/*.js",

生成接口文档

接口文档也是很重要的一个环节，该项目使用的是 ApiDoc.js 。这个没什么好说的，直接上代码：

/**

 * @apiGroup Tasks
 * @apiHeader {String} Authorization Token of authenticated user
 * @apiHeaderExample {json} Header

大概就类似与上边的样子，既可以做注释用，又可以自动生成文档，一石二鸟，我就不上图了。

准备发布

到了这里，就只剩下发布前的一些操作了，

有的时候，处于安全方面的考虑，我们的API可能只允许某些域名的访问，因此在这里引入一个强大的模块 cors ，介绍它的文章，网上有很多，大家可以直接搜索，在该项目中是这么使用的：

app.use(cors({
 origin: ["http://localhost:3001"],
 methods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
 allowedHeaders: ["Content-Type", "Authorization"]
}));

Copy after login

这个设置在本文的最后的演示网站中，会起作用。

打印请求日志同样是一个很重要的任务，因此引进了 winston 模块。下边是对他的配置：

import fs from "fs"
import winston from "winston"

if (!fs.existsSync("logs")) {
 fs.mkdirSync("logs");
}

module.exports = new winston.Logger({
 transports: [
  new winston.transports.File({
   level: "info",
   filename: "logs/app.log",
   maxsize: 1048576,
   maxFiles: 10,
   colorize: false
  })
 ]
});

Copy after login

打印的结果大概是这样的：

性能上，我们使用Node.js自带的cluster来利用机器的多核，代码如下：

import cluster from "cluster"
import os from "os"

const CPUS = os.cpus();

if (cluster.isMaster) {
 // Fork
 CPUS.forEach(() => cluster.fork());

 // Listening connection event
 cluster.on("listening", work => {
  "use strict";
  console.log(`Cluster ${work.process.pid} connected`);
 });

 // Disconnect
 cluster.on("disconnect", work => {
  "use strict";
  console.log(`Cluster ${work.process.pid} disconnected`);
 });

 // Exit
 cluster.on("exit", worker => {
  "use strict";
  console.log(`Cluster ${worker.process.pid} is dead`);
  cluster.fork();
 });

} else {
 require("./index");
}

在数据传输上，我们使用 compression 模块对数据进行了gzip压缩，这个使用起来比较简单：

app.use(compression());

最后，让我们支持https访问，https的关键就在于证书，使用授权机构的证书是最好的，但该项目中，我们使用http://www.selfsignedcertificate.com这个网站自动生成了一组证书，然后启用https的服务：

import https from "https"
import fs from "fs"

module.exports = app => {
 "use strict";
 if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "test") {

  const credentials = {
   key: fs.readFileSync("44885970_www.localhost.com.key", "utf8"),
   cert: fs.readFileSync("44885970_www.localhost.com.cert", "utf8")
  };

  app.db.sequelize.sync().done(() => {

   https.createServer(credentials, app)
    .listen(app.get("port"), () => {
    console.log(`NTask API - Port ${app.get("port")}`);
   });
  });
 }
};

Copy after login

当然，处于安全考虑，防止攻击，我们使用了 helmet 模块：

app.use(helmet());

Copy after login

前端程序

为了更好的演示该API，我把前段的代码也上传到了这个仓库https://github.com/agelessman/ntaskWeb,直接下载后，运行就行了。

总结

我觉得这本书写的非常好，我收获很多。它虽然并不复杂，但是该有的都有了，因此我可以自由的往外延伸。同时也学到了作者驾驭代码的能力。
