API

Copacabana implements these urls:

• GET /:namespace/:collection
• POST /:namespace/:collection + push event
• GET /:namespace/:collection/:id
• PUT /:namespace/:collection/:id + push event
• DELETE /:namespace/:collection/:id + push event

Socket events

Events sent are formatted that way:

POST /:namespace/:collection: { method: 'POST', collection: collection, data: object} sent in namespace socket room
