Controllers hold all of your endpoint-specific logic and behave in a manner very similar to sails.js. All controllers live in the /app/controllers folder.
A very simple controller:
/app/controllers/greet.js
module.exports = {
sayHello: function(req, res) {
res.json(200, {message: 'Hello World!'});
}
};Controllers can also be grouped in sub-folders within the /app/controllers folders, and are able to access models and services by referencing the appropriate containers on the mycro instance, which is available in all controller methods via the Request object (req.mycro)
/app/controllers/blog/posts.js
module.exports = {
create: function(req, res) {
var mycro = req.mycro;
async.auto({
post: function createPost(next) {
mycro.models['blog/posts'].create(req.body, next);
},
notify: ['post', function notifyAuthor(next, results) {
mycro.services['email'].sendEmail({
to: results.post.author.email
}, next);
}]
}, function(err, results) {
if (err) {
return res.json(500, {error: err});
}
res.json(200, {data: results.post});
});
},
destroy: function(req, res) { /* destroy logic */ }
};/app/controllers/blog/comments.js
module.exports = {
create: function(req, res) { /* create login */ },
destroy: function(req, res) { /* destroy logic */ }
};
