A simple Node.js sample pilet feed service for use with Piral.

Getting Started

For running this sample locally all you need to do is running:

npm i && npm start

Runing

tsc && npm run start

Remark: This sample requires Node.js and NPM. The used port is 9000, which could be re-configured easily (e.g., via an environment variable PORT).

Auth Keys

For publishing a Pilet a handful premade keys have been added (file: src/auth/keys.ts):

df133a512569cbc85f69788d1b7ff5a909f6bcfe1c9a2794283a2fc35175882c
da91e6a8aeee998b7d6b0701486e4909d2ee14fbcc0af5de601c1d09982141d5
f94fa7067e0299679af2b1dda6f1835cd7ed03a43c104446954b11ec7b1509d0
edf8c9275873ca743394b3367e67149d6fda5306b577113fbf1ff4f191de69e4
ad647bdc23b7437b8fa8f27c3e2d3f70fbb493c53e9160e07d37a98df333b188

Either change the file when using this service in any non-local infrastructure or set the environment variable PILET_API_KEYS with comma separated values (e.g., A,B,C uses three keys A, B, and C instead).

Pilet Database

For this simple sample everything is kept in memory. If you want to change this behavior to store the pilets also in a database / some storage you will need to modify the src/db/index.ts file.

Remark: The file has been prepared in such a sense that all exposed functions already return promises.

Reported URL

For the pilets the reported URL is http://localhost/... unless changed via src/constants.ts. For simplicity, a resolution algorithm based on standard environment variables is already active.

Variable Meaning
WEBSITE_HOSTNAME The name of the host, e.g., localhost
PORT The port, otherwise falling back to 9000
HTTPS Is HTTPS active, otherwise falling back to HTTP
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO The used protocol (e.g., http), otherwise falling back to the HTTPS setting
REDIS_HOST IP address of the Redis server
REDIS_PORT Port of the Redis server
REDIS_URL The URL of the Redis server. Format: [redis[s]:]//[[user][:password@]][host][:port][/db-number] [?db=db-number[&password=bar[&option=value]]

Usage via NPM

Alternatively, if you want to use the service only locally to play around you can also install and run the package via NPM:

npx sample-pilet-service

You could also install it globally:

npm i sample-pilet-service -g

This will enable a new command sample-pilet-service to be invoked on the command line shell.
