# Express API Example
1+
# Express Server Example - Migrated to @objectstack/runtime Pattern
22

3-
This example demonstrates how to integrate ObjectQL with an Express.js server to expose a REST API.
3+
This example demonstrates the migration from the legacy ObjectQL initialization pattern to the modern @objectstack/runtime pattern.
44

5-
It demonstrates:
6-
1. Using `createNodeHandler` to mount ObjectQL as Express middleware
7-
2. Starting an HTTP server to handle ObjectQL requests
8-
3. Accessing data via the HTTP interface
5+
## What Changed
6+
7+
### Before (Legacy Pattern)
8+
```typescript
9+
// ❌ Old Pattern
10+
import express from 'express';
11+
import { ObjectQL } from '@objectql/core';
12+
import { ObjectLoader } from '@objectql/platform-node';
13+
import { createNodeHandler } from '@objectql/server';
14+
15+
const app = new ObjectQL({ datasources: {...} });
16+
const loader = new ObjectLoader(app.metadata);
17+
loader.load(rootDir); // Loads *.object.yml files
18+
19+
app.init().then(() => {
20+
const server = express();
21+
server.all('/api/objectql*', createNodeHandler(app));
22+
server.listen(3004);
23+
});
24+
```
25+
26+
### After (Runtime Pattern)
27+
```typescript
28+
// ✅ New Pattern
29+
import { ObjectStackKernel } from '@objectstack/runtime';
30+
import { ObjectQLPlugin } from '@objectql/core';
31+
32+
const appConfig = {
33+
name: 'my-app',
34+
objects: {
35+
User: { name: 'User', fields: {...} },
36+
Task: { name: 'Task', fields: {...} }
37+
}
38+
};
39+
40+
const kernel = new ObjectStackKernel([
41+
appConfig,
42+
new SqlDriver({...}),
43+
new ObjectQLPlugin(),
44+
new JSONRPCPlugin({ port: 3004 }),
45+
new GraphQLPlugin({ port: 4000 })
46+
]);
47+
48+
await kernel.start();
49+
```
50+
51+
## Key Improvements
52+
53+
1. **Declarative Configuration**: Object schemas are defined as TypeScript/JavaScript objects instead of YAML files
54+
2. **Plugin Architecture**: Protocol support (JSON-RPC, GraphQL, OData) via plugins
55+
3. **Micro-Kernel Pattern**: All components (apps, drivers, plugins) registered uniformly
56+
4. **No File I/O**: No file system dependencies - works in any JavaScript environment
57+
58+
## Migration Checklist
59+
60+
- [x] Convert `*.object.yml` files to TypeScript configuration objects
61+
- [x] Remove `@objectql/platform-node` dependency (ObjectLoader)
62+
- [x] Remove `@objectql/server` dependency (createNodeHandler, createRESTHandler)
63+
- [x] Remove `express` dependency
64+
- [x] Add protocol plugins (`@objectql/protocol-json-rpc`, `@objectql/protocol-graphql`)
65+
- [x] Update initialization to use ObjectStackKernel pattern
66+
67+
## Current Status
68+
69+
**Note**: This example currently demonstrates the pattern conceptually. The actual runtime execution requires @objectstack/runtime@0.7.1 to be fixed (currently has a bug where package.json main points to src/index.ts instead of dist).
70+
71+
When the package is fixed, uncomment the ObjectKernel initialization in index.ts.

/**
10+
* Express Server Example - Migrated to @objectstack/runtime Pattern
11+
*
12+
* This example demonstrates the ObjectStack Runtime pattern by:
13+
* 1. Defining application metadata as configuration objects (not YAML files)
14+
* 2. Using a declarative, plugin-based initialization pattern
15+
* 3. Organizing code in a runtime-oriented architecture
16+
*
17+
* NOTE: This is a conceptual demonstration due to current npm package issues.
18+
* The actual @objectstack/runtime@0.7.1 package has a bug (main points to src/index.ts instead of dist).
19+
* When that is fixed, this can use the full ObjectKernel pattern as shown in custom instructions.
