MobilePaymentBridge FAAS Edition

MobilePaymentBridge FAAS Edition is a lightweight serverless script that streamlines payment processing with Stripe in mobile applications. I use this script daily in my apps to handle transactions securely and efficiently. Built on top of OpenFaaS, it allows for seamless deployment and scaling of functions without the overhead of managing server infrastructure.

Features

• Seamless Stripe Integration: Easily process payments using Stripe's robust API.
• Serverless Architecture: Leverages OpenFaaS for efficient function deployment and scaling.
• Easy to Deploy: Quick setup with minimal configuration.
• Open Source: Licensed under the MIT License.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• OpenFaaS: Installed and configured on your system.
• faas-cli: OpenFaaS CLI tool for building and deploying functions.
• Stripe Account: Sign up for a Stripe account to obtain API keys.

Deployment Guide

Follow these steps to deploy the payment processing function on OpenFaaS without using a stack.yml file or a Dockerfile:

1. Install OpenFaaS CLI

   Make sure you have the faas-cli installed:

   curl -sSL https://cli.openfaas.com | sudo sh

2. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/MobilePaymentBridge-FAAS-Edition.git

3. Navigate to the Project Directory

   cd MobilePaymentBridge-FAAS-Edition

4. Build the Function

   Use the faas-cli to build the function directly, specifying the function name, language, and handler directory:

   faas-cli build \
     --name mobilepaymentbridge \
     --lang node \
     --handler . \
     --shrinkwrap

5. Deploy the Function

   Deploy the function to OpenFaaS:

   faas-cli deploy \
     --name mobilepaymentbridge \
     --image mobilepaymentbridge:latest \
     --gateway http://127.0.0.1:8080 \
     --env STRIPE_SECRET=your_stripe_api_key

6. Invoke the Function

   Test the function by invoking it:

   echo -n '{"amount":1000,"currency":"usd"}' | faas-cli invoke mobilepaymentbridge

Usage

Integrate the deployed function into your mobile application by making HTTP requests to the OpenFaaS gateway endpoint where the function is exposed.
