First Steps

Setup

Steps

Grab the latest release
install dependencies
$ npm i
run tests
$ npm run test
initialize database

creates the tables in the sqlitefile

$ npm run setup:database

everything at once

For your convenience the following npm script does all of the above steps at once:

$ npm run setup

start api server

Consider editing the configuration before starting the api server (see the configuration section).

$ npm run start

Configuration

The API server brings with it a default configuration which can be found in /configuration/default.js. This default can be used to setup your own configuration. The server utilizes the configurations module from npm which does a staged modification of configurations. Initially the default config is loaded and then subsequent modifications are applied.

You can add your own environment specific configuration by adding e.g. a production.js to the configurations folder. When the server is started with the node environment NODE_ENV set to production, the default config is enhanced by your production config. You don't have to specify each and every key from default.js, the defaults are retained.

You also can specify an external configuration sitting on an arbitrary place in your system by assigning it via a command line parameter:

$ node server.js --externalconfig=/etc/opt/strichliste/myconfig.js

Configuration details

This section explains the content of the default.json which can be modified by you as you wish

module.exports = {

API Documentation

Every API answer has the Content-Type application/json. Data that is posted to the API is always JSON as well.

Pagination

At some endpoints the following queryparameters can be used to control the pagination of lists:

  • limit: the number of items to show
  • offset: the number of the first item in the list

Each of the paginated lists are of the following data structure:

{
  overallCount: <int>,
  limit: <int>,
  offset: <int>,
  entries: [<entry]
}

Endpoints

GET /user

Returns the complete list of all users. Each user is described via the following data structure:

{
  "id": <int>,
  "name": <string>,
  "mailAddress": <string>,
  "balance": <float>,
  "lastTransaction": <dateTime>,
  "countOfTransactions": <int>,
  "weightedCountOfPurchases": <int>,
  "activeDays": <int>
}

The parameters and the list structure of the Pagination section are used in this endpoint.

POST /user

Creates a new user. To create a new user a name and an optional mailAddress has to be assigned via the following data structure.

{
    "name": <string>,
    "mailAddress": <string>

GET /transaction

Lists the latest transactions. Each transaction has the following data structure:

{
  id: <int>,
  userId: <int>,
  createDate: <DateTime>,
  value: <float>,
  comment: <string>
}

Use the parameters and the list structure of the Pagination section to specify the list's structure.

GET /user/:userId

Returns one specific user. The returned data structure correlates with the /user endpoint, additionally a list of the five last transactions is sent. (See the /user/transaction section for a reference to the transaction data structure)
