- it's better suited here given this package is now the API framework

# Api Framework # API Framework
API framework used by Ghost API framework used by Ghost
## Usage ## Usage
### Stages
Each request goes through the following stages:
- input validation
- input serialisation
- permissions
- query
- output serialisation
The framework we are building pipes a request through these stages in respect of the API controller configuration.
### Frame
Is a class, which holds all the information for request processing. We pass this instance by reference.
Each function can modify the original instance. No need to return the class instance.
#### Structure
```
{
original: Object,
options: Object,
data: Object,
user: Object,
file: Object,
files: Array
}
```
#### Example
```
{
original: {
include: 'tags'
},
options: {
withRelated: ['tags']
},
data: {
posts: []
}
}
```
### API Controller
A controller is no longer just a function, it's a set of configurations.
#### Structure
```
edit: function || object
```
```
edit: {
headers: object,
options: Array,
data: Array,
validation: object | function,
permissions: boolean | object | function,
query: function
}
```
#### Examples
```
edit: {
headers: {
cacheInvalidate: true
},
// Allowed url/query params
options: ['include']
// Url/query param validation configuration
validation: {
options: {
include: {
required: true,
values: ['tags']
}
}
},
permissions: true,
// Returns a model response!
query(frame) {
return models.Post.edit(frame.data, frame.options);
}
}
```
```
read: {
// Allowed url/query params, which will be remembered inside `frame.data`
// This is helpful for READ requests e.g. `model.findOne(frame.data, frame.options)`.
// Our model layer requires sending the where clauses as first parameter.
data: ['slug']
validation: {
data: {
slug: {
values: ['eins']
}
}
},
permissions: true,
query(frame) {
return models.Post.findOne(frame.data, frame.options);
}
}
```
```
edit: {
validation() {
// custom validation, skip framework
},
permissions: {
unsafeAttrs: ['author']
},
query(frame) {
return models.Post.edit(frame.data, frame.options);
}
}
```
