Require library

generateApi = require('koa-mongo-rest');

Create mongoose model

mongoUrl = '127.0.0.1:27017';
mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect(mongoUrl);

schema = new mongoose.Schema({
  email: String,
  name: String,
  password: String,

});

model = mongoose.model('users', schema);

//router is required
app.use(router(app));


//add REST routes to your app. Prefix is optional
generateApi(app, model, '/api');
