A mock service using Express.js & CouchDb to allow open source development of npm website code.

Read, throw the .env file at root of this project. And change the environment variables for your couch and app accordingly.

The app directory contains four modules (organizations, packages, scopes, teams, users) which contains the logic to serve the request. Each of those modules have similar structure comprising of:

• db directory e.g. db
• handlers.js
• routes.js
• validators.js

The db directory contains the following two types of files:

• designDoc.json, which have couch design document which is preloaded on start of application.
• queries.js, contians the database logic associated with each route in that particular module.

This file contains handlers (sometimes called controllers) are functions that accepts two parameters: request and response

The request parameter is an stream with details about the end user's request, such as path parameters, headers, payload &c.

The second parameter, response, is the stream used to respond to the request.

This file contains logic that registers http method, path ,validator and handler to the app.

This app uses Joi for validations of params, body, headers and query. It exports the validation objects for each handler.

The config directory contains the config file which is used by wrapper written on top of nano to connect to CouchDb.

The couchapp directory contains the scripts which are used to preload the fixture documents and design documents into the CouchDb.

The fixtures directory contains the mock documents which are inserted in the CouchDb on start of the app.

The lib directory contains the wrapper libraries and shared code used in app.

the test directory contains the API test cases written using supertest.

To start the app localy, do the following which will run the pretest script which will setup db and load docs and views into couchdb

npm install
npm start

To run the tests, do the following

npm test
