FanYau API server

#Fanyau API server

• Server: Node.js using express
• Database: Firebase Database project: Firebase project here
• Hosting: OpenShift using their nodejs cartridge: OpenShift project here

Note: Log in to both Firebase and OpenShift's services are registered under [e-mail], login credentials available in slack's #accounts channel.

Set up locally

1. clone this git
2. Go to root directory of the repo (where package.json exists)
3. Run npm install to install dependencies
4. Run node server.js to start the server at your localhost, default link: http://localhost:8080/

Deploy to production setup

OpenShift use a git push hook as deployment method. They provide a git server to store the project source, and any push to this git server will trigger a release of the project which is publicly available at http://server-fanyau.rhcloud.com/.

1. Add your Public SSH key to this console page. (More instructions go here)
2. Add an extra remote source to this git you cloned earlier: ssh://[e-mail]/~/git/server.git/
3. Push any changes to the git master branch will trigger a release

#Demo

It is available at the OpenShift's free domain: http://server-fanyau.rhcloud.com/ (custom domain is configurable too).

e.g.

• GET /: http://server-fanyau.rhcloud.com/
• GET /user/:userid: http://server-fanyau.rhcloud.com/user/gigiho
  • This retrieves user info of stored data on the Firebase database and retrun the info as JSON.
