Reactionary API

A serverless RESTful API built for accessing Mark Erikson's react-redux-links collection.

Try it out: curl -l https://api.theweb.rocks/ | python -m json.tool

Endpoints

Collection of all files including some metadata: https://api.theweb.rocks

Resources and links from a single file: https://api.theweb.rocks/:id

ID is a number starting from 1. (Ex. /1 returns the "basic concepts" file.)

Overview

First we grab a URL list of all files fromm the repository with getFileURLs(). It returns an array of URLs that we can use to get data from each files.

Next, we get the raw markdown file from each file in the repo then parse each file into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree). Passing that into computeAST() will return a cleaned up object of the markdown file that is properly organized into an array of objects containing an entry of each resource:
