rest-hapi is a hapi plugin that automatically generates RESTful CRUD and association API endpoints from mongoose schemas, with joi validation, route/document-level authorization, Swagger docs, and rich query parameters (search, sort, filter, paginate, embed). It combines relational-style associations with NoSQL flexibility so an API can be running in minutes.

Use cases

• generate a REST API from mongoose schemas
• scaffold CRUD endpoints for a MongoDB backend
• build a hapi.js API with swagger docs automatically
• add relational associations to a NoSQL API
• quickly prototype an API MVP with validation and auth
• add search, sort, filtering and pagination to API endpoints

When to choose

• you use the hapi framework with MongoDB/mongoose
• you want to go from data models to a documented API in minutes
• you need configurable CRUD, associations, validation, and swagger out of the box

When to avoid

• you don't use hapi or MongoDB
• you need fine-grained hand-written endpoint logic for most routes
• you need a project under active development - releases are infrequent
