Simple yet powerful hassle-free and production ready hapi.js Server boilerplate

Hapi-Moon provides a ready to go server boilerplate for hapi applications. All you need to do is install dependencies and run npm start command.

With Hapi-Moon you'll have:

• Production ready docker setup
• Multi environment configs (dev/prod/test with config)
• MongoDB (Mongoose) Models
• Authentication
• Rest API Support
• CSRF validation crumb
• Cookie Management with yar (stores sessions in Redis backend)
• View Render Support (nunjucks)
• Cache (Redis with catbox-redis)

Usage

With Docker

git clone https://github.com/metoikos/hapi-moon.git
cd hapi-moon
docker-compose up

It will expose port 3009 for your hapi-moon application. You can change the port and other details from config/default.json file.

Standart NPM

git clone https://github.com/metoikos/hapi-moon.git
cd hapi-moon
npm install
npm test
npm start

Please visit routes and controllers folders to see how to define a route and controller.

Rest Api Usage

In order to use this boilerplate as REST API, you need to send "X-CSRF-Token" information in the header. Otherwise, your request won't be allowed by the server.

Also you need to remove plugins.crumb block from your handler.

    plugins: {
        crumb: {
            restful: false
        }
    }

Let's say you want to implement authentication to your SPA then your auth/login handler would be like this.

exports.login = {
    auth: false,
    validate: {
        payload: validators.login
    },    
    description: 'sign in user to system',
    handler: async (request, h) => {
        const result = await User.login(request.payload.email, request.payload.password);
        if (result) {
            request.yar.set('auth', result.apiData());
            return {status: true, result: result.apiData()};
        }

        return {error: 'Invalid email or password'}
    }
};
