Simple:json-routes with POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, etc?

@sashko - Hey Sashko,
Quick question - do you have any links to examples of using simple:json-routes with the other HTTP methods? The simple:json-routes documentation has examples for get, but none of the other methods.

JsonRoutes.add("put", "/posts", function (req, res, next) {
 // interested in examples here
});

FYI, I’ve got a new project that requires doing a lot of writing and updates via Meteor HTTP endpoints. I have some REST examples with middleware from some of the older HTTP packages, but if there’s a repository or gist somewhere with links to more advanced examples of simple:json-routes, I’d prefer starting there.
Thanks!
Abby

There are examples in the simple:rest package, mostly of POST and OPTIONS:

github.com

stubailo/meteor-rest/blob/devel/packages/rest-accounts-password/rest-login.js

JsonRoutes.Middleware.use(JsonRoutes.Middleware.parseBearerToken);
JsonRoutes.Middleware.use(JsonRoutes.Middleware.authenticateMeteorUserByToken);

// Handle errors specifically for the login routes correctly
JsonRoutes.ErrorMiddleware.use('/users/login', RestMiddleware.handleErrorAsJson);
JsonRoutes.ErrorMiddleware.use('/users/register', RestMiddleware.handleErrorAsJson);

JsonRoutes.add('options', '/users/login', function (req, res) {
  JsonRoutes.sendResult(res);
});

JsonRoutes.add('post', '/users/login', function (req, res) {
  var options = req.body;

  var user;
  if (options.hasOwnProperty('email')) {
    check(options, {
      email: String,
      password: String,
    });

Meteor.methods = Object.getPrototypeOf(Meteor.server).methods =

    Meteor.method(name, handler);
  });

function addHTTPMethod(methodName, handler, options) {
options = options || SimpleRest._methodOptions[methodName] || {};


options = _.defaults(options, {
  getArgsFromRequest: defaultGetArgsFromRequest,
});


JsonRoutes.add('options', options.url, function (req, res) {
  JsonRoutes.sendResult(res);
});
