Sample Edge Hosted Web Application.
- Edge - The application is hosted on the edge by Fastly.com
- Serverless - The application is serverless, using Fastlys compute@edge
- Host - The application is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly
- Client - The web client, uses React + Fluent UI
- Lite - 3,364 KB Single WASM file, including bundled 638 KB website
Simple REST API, used by the web client.
For example https://tech-summit.edgecompute.app/geo will return a JSON object with information about the cients geo-loaction
- list - Returns the contenst of the docs folder https://github.com/GordonSmith/tech-summit/docs
- fetch?path=... - Returns the contents of the specified file from GitHub, paths are relative to https://github.com/GordonSmith/tech-summit, for example path=LICENSE
- geo - Returns geo-location of the client
- <default> - Serves the React website:
- The website is bundled into the WASM file, so this is a single request to the edge to get the entire site.
- Once loaded the site will fetch the list of markdown files from the
docsfolder via the APIlist. - Next it creates the navigation index on the left hand side from this list.
- When the user selects a navigation item, it will fetch the content from GitHub via the API
fetch?path=... - The markdown content will then be rendered into the page using @hpcc-js/observable-md.
