npm install
npm run start // will start api.js by pm2 process manager
npm run logs // application logs
npm run restart //you should restart api.js after any changes
npm run stop // you should stop api.js in the end
Main server file is api.js which will be started with npm start
The config file is config.js which includes all needed variables!
Under the /conf/ folder, needed configurations will be added. Currently, we have steemconnect/index.js for initializing steemconnect and /mysql/index.js for creating a MySql connection.
Under the /blockchain_apis/ needed RPC calls will be added. Currently, there is a database API get_dynamic_global_properties.js
Under the /login_apis/ needed functions for the login process will be added. Currently, we added a confirm_process.js for assigning a unique hex string (called hashKey) to the logged in users.
We will keep that unique hashKey instead of access_token (access_token provided by steemconnect and used to upvote, comment, and etc) in the database for validating other operations which will help to reduce security concerns.
confirm_process will check to see there is any hashKey in the request, then it will check that hashKey against the database. if there was not a hashKey in the request, confirm_process will assign a new hashKey for that user after checking login credentials.
We will use dynamic_global_properties in the front-end for some calculations. Like converting VESTS to the STEEM
