Important

This booster requires Node.js 8.x or greater and npm 5 or greater.

Important

As part of the process of creating this booster, developers.redhat.com/launch or the Fabric8 Launcher tool set up a project with a CI/CD deployment of this booster. You can see the status of this deployment in your Single-node OpenShift Cluster or OpenShift Online Web Console.

Runing the Booster Locally

To run this booster on your local host:

$ git clone [e-mail]:gorkem/node-application

$ cd node-application

$ npm install && npm start

Interacting with the Booster Locally

To interact with your booster while it’s running locally, use the form at http://localhost:8080 or the curl command:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/greeting
{"content":"Hello, World!"}

$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/greeting?name=Sarah
{"content":"Hello, Sarah!"}

Updating the Booster

To update your booster:

1. Stop your booster.

   Note	To stop your running booster in a Linux or macOS terminal, use CTRL+C. In a Windows command prompt, you can use CTRL + Break(pause).

2. Make your change (e.g. edit public/index.html).

3. Restart your booster.

4. Verify the change took effect.

Running the Booster on a Single-node OpenShift Cluster

If you have a single-node OpenShift cluster, such as Minishift or Red Hat Container Development Kit, installed and running, you can also deploy your booster there. A single-node OpenShift cluster provides you with access to a cloud environment that is similar to a production environment.

To deploy your booster to a running single-node OpenShift cluster:

$ oc login -u developer -p developer

$ oc new-project MY_PROJECT_NAME

$ npm install && npm run openshift
