Installation

Gitpod

Gitpod is a Service, which provides development environments in the cloud. In case no plan is purchased the reguar Opensource License allows to use the service for 50 hours per month for free.

All that needs to be done, is logging in to their service with a valid GitHub account.

1. [OPTIONAL] Install the Browser Extension from Gitpod.
   - Chrome
   - Firefox
2. Just hit the Gitpod button in the README file. Everything will spin up automatically.
3. When you're finished with your contribution just close the workspace.

Running the app locally

$ npm install

When using gitpod, you can set environment-variables under the following link https://gitpod.io/variables. You can even scope the variable to a specific project.

For connecting the API against the database you can use docker-compose

# database
$ docker-compose up

# development
$ npm run start

# watch mode
$ npm run start:dev

# production mode
$ npm run start:prod

API-Token

• The API-Token is a static token, which gets set in the environment-variables as APPROVED_TOKENS.
• This token is used to authenticate an 'admin-App' against the API. The API-Token is used to generate Bearer-Tokens.
• For generating more than one token they can be passed to the environment-variables as a comma-seperated list.

Swagger docs

1. start the app npm start

Logging

Logging can be turned on by settings an environment-variable DEBUG=true. If this variables is not true or undefiend no Logs will be made.

When set to true the App will Log every incoming request.

Authentication

Authentication is handled via an environment-variable called APPROVED_TOKENS. The approved tokens which are validated by the API are put there. In case there should be multiple tokens, for multiple clients, they need to be comma-separated.

To use Authentication the token needs to be passed in the token-header of the client-request.
