rsvp-backend

Backend server to handle the RSVP requests from the frontent (not yet available).

rsvp

Handles RSVPs to invitations. Does work for one event at a time as I built this for my wedding. It let's the invitees manage the names of guests and add their phone number and email address.

Configuration

Database storage path

The RSVP_DB_PATH environment variable determines the path to the sqlite file. Defaults to /tmp/rsvp.db.

Listen IP and HOST

The RSVP_HOST environment variable sets the IP on which the API server listens on.

The RSVP_PORT environment variable sets the PORT on which the API server listens on.

Token secret

In order to create a JWT a secret needs to be set. The RSVP_TOKEN_SECRET environment varialbe is expected and the server will die if it is not set.

User

In order to manage users who can add, delete and view all invitations we need a file where we store that information.

This is handled by the RSVP_PW_FILE environment variable which should store the path to the file containing the users and the password hashes. If not set it defaults to /tmp/rsvp_pw.

The file needs to be in the following format:

{
  "user1": "$2a$10$mrufUFDYdBt7oH7vZ7Ock.VRD4/D0YAjtYCMLIiTXxtIa4MSl8Ld.",
  "user2": "$2a$10$diewETIWYo9OU7IQOxGOR.mjMkQMzTAF/5wVuteiCxaUWxQ2T2HI."
}

The password hashing algorithm used is bcrypt.
