This is a backend server built with node.js and express, that saves blockchain and IPFS data to a mongoDB database to enable faster display in the Convergent frontend application.
When the server starts, it collects all existing personal tokens (that were created through the Convergent factory contract) and saves the corresponding data to a mongoDB database. The server then continues to listen to the relevant contracts and saves new economies as they are created or updated. It exposes 2 REST APIs for the frontend:
To get all saved economies and their associated IPFS data, send a GET request to localhost:3000/economies.
To fetch a single economy and its associated IPFS data, send a GET request to localhost:3000/economies/:tokenAddress
To test creating a new economy, you can send a POST request to localhost:3000/post. This will soon be deprecated, since only the token factory contract can create new economies.
