-REST API

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

• Git
• Node.js (with NPM)
• StrongLoop CLI
• MongoDB

• git clone git@github.com:bootenv/bootenv-rest-api.git this repository
• change into the new directory bootenv-rest-api
• nvm use
• npm install -g strongloop
• npm install

The data layer for API is based on MongoDB.

Now, we are not using bootenv to setup our conf variables but we really need migrate as soon as possible!

• nvm use
• npm start

In development mode (NODE_ENV=development) we monitor for any changes and automatically restart the server

• nvm use
• npm run serve

Visit your API status at http://localhost:3000. To explore your API visit http://localhost:3000/explorer.

As we want to run this REST-API in a Docker container, please take a look on a given Dockerfile. The Dockerfile is simple and straightforward.

The quickest way to get started is using Docker Compose.

docker-compose up

NOTE: Please allow a couple of minutes for the REST-API to start.

Alternately, you can manually build and run the Docker REST-API container.

docker build --tag="bootenv/bootenv-rest-api:latest" .
docker run -d --name api -p 3000:3000 --env='NODE_ENV=development' --env='MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017' bootenv/bootenv-rest-api:latest
