This module goes hand in hand with the mean.io stack and allows any mean app to have endpoints to add/remove entities from any third party app.
MEAN is a fullstack javascript platform for modern web applications. MEAN stands for MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and Node.js. You can find it and all the details regarding it in: http://www.mean.io/
After installing this module you should require it by doing:
var options = {
disableAuth: false,
authMiddleware: auth.myNewAuthMiddleware
};
var meanShadow = require('../node_modules/mean-shadow')(app, options);
The options object should include "authMiddleware" which is a new middleware you should create inside of the app/routes/middlewares/authorization.js file. If you need to disable the authorization which is a BAD IDEA, just pass "disableAuth: true".
Then in order to add your own logic you can catch a shadow event by doing:
meanShadow.events.on('insert', function(data) {
// Do some cool and MEAN stuff
});
Thanks to the author Orit Persik for creating this.
