For javascript coders: Bookends client for nodejs
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2011 7:47 am
Hello,
just wanted to let you know that I hacked together a very simple Bookends client for node-js (http://nodejs.org). You can find it at
https://github.com/cboulanger/bookends-client
The client queries the server built into bookends to allow manipulating the data via javascript or a REST style interface & JSON. I wrote it because I needed to do some more complicated batch processing of my data and Bookends currently cannot be scripted natively.
As I say in the readme file, the code is very experimental and has not been tested very well, so if you want to use it, try it with a copy of your database first. I have published it in this state to see if there are maybe others who could find this useful and collaborate. However, you need to be proficient in JavaScript, git, Node-js and asynchronous programming in order to profit from this. I cannot give any basic support and can only respond to developer requests. Sorry!
Best,
Christian
