Wrap collection endpoints

[clarkie]

Hi, I'm trying to add halacious to an existing REST api and can't find how to do so for collection end points.

For example the following returns an array of pieces:

{ 
    method: 'GET', 
    path: '/volumes/{id}/pieces', 
    config: {
      tags: ['api'],
      handler: function (request, reply) {
        var query = request.db.piece.findAll({
          where : { volumeId: request.params.id }
        });
        return reply(query);
      },
      validate: {
        params: {
          id: Joi.number().required()
        }
      }
    }
  }

Is this possible already or would this be a new feature?

Hi!

You can’t really halify a top level array. We wrap all of our collection routes to return collection entities that include metadata about the collection (count, index, total count), links to first, previous, next, and last, and an embedded array of the actual items. Take a look at the paging.js halacious example in the examples folder.
