Express Restful Example

base ?= "/restapi"
app.delete "#{base}/:id",(req,res)->
	Model.findByIdAndRemove req.params?.id,(err,data)->
		res.json(data)
app.post "#{base}/:id",(req,res)->
	Model.findByIdAndUpdate req.params?.id, req?.body, (err,data)->
		res.json(data)
app.post "#{base}",(req,res)->
	model = new Model(req.body)
	model.save (err,data)->
		unless err then res.json data
app.get "#{base}",(req,res)->
	Model.select("-password").find({}).sort("-id").exec(err,data)->
