Example CloudMine Server Code Snippet

This is a example of how to structure your project for running on CloudMine's PaaS.

The lib folder has snippets which are just pieces of node code. The index.coffee has the important parts of the code.

1. The module.exports must come before the .start method is called. The exports of a file are dynamic and can be changed at any point - running code after the exports is fine. In this case, we need to define the snippets you want to enable for public consumption.
2. CloudMineNode.start is called, which creates the HTTP server to host your requests. It requires the current scope, the root file, and has a callback to let you know when things are working.

To run locally:

1. Run npm install from the directory if you haven't done so already.
2. If you have CoffeeScript installed and on your PATH, run coffee index.coffee to start the server. Otherwise you can run node coffee_bridge.js.
3. Use curl, wget, or your favorite method of running http commands. Check out localhost:4545/names for a list of the endpoints you can call. It comes with "basic" and "async" out of the box. To run one, issue a GET request to localhost:4545/code/ENDPOINTNAME (for example, localhost:4545/code/basic).
