This proxy allows me to implement a simple idea on top of RafLeaf's API: add the... (dramatic pause)... time dimension!. Put simply, I want to ask things about the past, present and future (scary!). Data evolves, people move, get old, kids etc. The possibilities are really cool.
I wrote this app primarily to learn more about mongodb, node.js, rapleaf's API and webservice.js.
Implemented using node-http-proxy, this simple proxy relays HTTP messages by default. Every successful request is recorded on a mongodb database, which is later queried by our webservice module.
A dead simple webservice.js based implementation. This module provides a free dynamic documentation page which can be accessed via browser at http://localhost:8080/docs. You can run each method directly on your browser.
Honestly I could have used just about anything to store this data. I chose mongodb out of curiosity, plus it has MapReduce builtin (check lib/module.js for the fields_count function).
This pet project is obviously NOT production ready, if you want to try it out please follow the following steps:
- Install mongodb (default settings)
git clone git://github.com/tralamazza/rapleaf-proxy.gitcd rapleaf-proxy- Install the dependencies
npm install -d - Run
node app.jsand start making rapleaf calls to your http://localhost:8081 - Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/docs
