• expose service document and service metadata - $metadata
• setup metadata using decorators or metadata JSON

• support for full OData query language using odata-v4-parser
  • filtering entities - $filter
  • sorting - $orderby
  • paging - $skip and $top
  • projection of entities - $select
  • expanding entities - $expand
• support sync and async controller functions
• support async controller functions using Promise, async/await or ES6 generator functions
• support result streaming
• support media entities

Controller and server functions parameter injection decorators

• @odata.key
• @odata.filter
• @odata.query
• @odata.context
• @odata.body
• @odata.result
• @odata.stream

Example server

• server file :

@odata.controller(ProductsController, true)
export class Server extends ODataServer {}

• controller file :

export class ProductsController extends ODataController {
  /**
   *  Get All products
   * @param query
   * @returns products
   */
  @odata.GET
  async select(@odata.query $query: ODataQuery): Promise<Product[]> {
    const db = await connect();
    const query = createQuery($query);
    const { rows } = await db.query(query.from('"Products"'), query.parameters);
    return convertResults(rows);
  }

  /**
   *  Get one product by id
   * @param key
   * @param query
   * @returns
   */
  @odata.GET
  async selectOne(
    @odata.key key: number,
    @odata.query query: ODataQuery
  ): Promise<Product> {
    const db = await connect();
    const sqlQuery = createQuery(query);
    const { rows } = await db.query(
      `SELECT ${sqlQuery.select} FROM "Products"
                                     WHERE "Id" = $${
                                       sqlQuery.parameters.length + 1
                                     } AND
                                           (${sqlQuery.where})`,
      [...sqlQuery.parameters, key]
    );
    return convertResults(rows)[0];
  }
}

• index file :

import { Server } from "./server";
require("dotenv").config();

// Setup metadata schema
Server.$metadata(your_schema_file);
// Start ODATA server
const port = parseInt(process.env.PORT, 10) || 3000;
Server.create("/odata", port).addListener("listening", () => {
  console.log(`Odata server listening on port ${port} 🚀`);
});
