STRATO REST API Sample Application

This application demonstrates how to use the blockapps-rest npm package to interact with a STRATO blockchain, specifically to view assets owned by the user specified in the credentials file.

Overview

The application provides a single key functionality:

1. Asset Enumeration - List all assets owned by the user configured in credentials.yaml

Prerequisites

To run this application, you need:

1. A running STRATO node
2. Valid credentials in credentials.yaml
3. Node.js and npm installed

Project Structure

• index.js - Main application file containing all functionality:
  • OAuth authentication with the STRATO node
  • API client setup for interacting with the STRATO node
  • Express server and asset display functionality
• credentials.yaml - Contains the credentials for authentication and user common name
• credentials.template.yaml - Template file with placeholders for setting up credentials
• package.json - Project dependencies and scripts

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Set up credentials
cp credentials.template.yaml credentials.yaml
# Edit credentials.yaml with your own values

Running the Application

To start the web application:

npm start

This will start an Express server at http://localhost:3000 where you can view the assets owned by the user configured in credentials.yaml.

Security Considerations

• The application uses OAuth for authentication
• Sensitive credentials are stored in credentials.yaml
• In a production environment, you would implement additional security measures:
  • Use HTTPS
  • Implement CSRF protection
  • Add rate limiting
  • Enhance error handling
