This project is a lambda-powered micro-service library in support for various beOI service.

This project uses Serverless project to deploy easily serverless functions on AWS Lambda. The developer should refer to Serverless doc for more info.

The following list of tools is required. It may work with lower version, but with no guarantees.

• nodejs >= 6.10
• npm >= 4.1

To install locally the packages required for development and running the project, run npm install.

You should already be able to call your first REST service locally:

./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless invoke local -f index

You can follow the path from the service definition to the implementation through serverless.yml, handle.js and lib/status.js.

To be able to test the services locally, you need to install a Postgres database. The easiest way to have exactly the same version as the production server and to avoid the installation hassle is to run it in a container. Install Docker, then run it with:

docker run --name beoiapidb -p 5432:5432 --rm -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret postgres:9.6.1

Then, configure your config/db.json file with your database settings. You can start by copying config/db.sample.json file and adapt it. Note the root keys are the environment, to run it locally only, keep "dev".

To manage your database (e.g., add content), use an external tool such as PGAdmin (UI) or directly the psql client (using another docker container for instance) (CLI).

To make your database is correctly installed and to install the latest version of the database schema, run

./node_modules/db-migrate/bin/db-migrate up --config config/db.json -e dev

Each time you pull a database migration from the repository, do not forget to rerun this command.

You should now be able to call a service locally to your local database:

./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless invoke local -f ping

You can follow the path from the service definition to the implementation through serverless.yml, handle.js and lib/status.js.

In production, the code run on AWS, so you first need to configure your environment for it.

If you do not have AWS credentials configured yet for your unix user, configure it using classical AWS tools or Serverless's. You can modify your own ~/.aws/credentials if you need to update them later.

If you need to run migration, you need direct access to the database, so to configure config/db.json for the "prod" key. To test whether a migration needs to be executed and run it if needed, use:

./node_modules/db-migrate/bin/db-migrate up --config config/db.json -e prod

To redeploy the full stack:

./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless deploy

To (re)deploy a single function:

./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless deploy function -f ping

To run this function in the cloud:

./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless deploy function -f ping
