bb-user-crud

Introduction

A simple single page app using new front-end technologies I have learned:

• backbone.js - MV* framework
• require.js - dependenies and modulars management
• handlerbars - template engine
• underscore.js - utils used by backbone, mini templete
• node.js - used with express module to implement a simple REST api

How to run

$> node server.js
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000
[19:49:26] GET /users
[19:49:37] GET /users/2
[19:49:47] PUT /users/2
[19:49:47] GET /users
[19:49:54] GET /users/1
[19:49:57] DELETE /users/1
[19:49:57] GET /users
[19:50:9] DELETE /users/ALL
All users cleared
[19:50:9] GET /users

Open in browser:
http://localhost:8000

How to test REST api

Use either browser plugin/extension or commandline like below:

curl localhost:8000/users
curl localhost:8000/users/1
curl -X POST -H  "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8000/users -d '{"name":"Hugh Jackman", "score": 30}'
curl -X PUT  -H  "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:8000/users/3 -d '{"sore": 50}'
curl -X DELETE localhost:8000/users/2
curl -X DELETE localhost:8000/users/ALL
