A prescription drug search API built on the Serverless framework. This project is written in NodeJS and leverages the National Medical Library's RxImage API and Data-Discovery API.

Drug Search Service

What Can I Do With This?

Clone the project and spin it up. This project was used as an example on a Medium series on how to create a serverless app and set it up with CI/CD.

Setup

Have serverless installed locally and on your CI/CD pipeline:

npm install -g serverless

Make sure that you have your AWS Key and Secret in your env vars or bash profile:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"

Deployment

To deploy to AWS locally, make sure you have your AWS key and secret in your bash profile and execute the following:

sls deploy -v

Usage

To execute locally, run the following command (npm install serverless -g is required):

sls offline --noAuth

or

npm start

If running locally, the beginning of your url will be http://localhost:3000

Then you can send the request to "http:///drug/search/getDrugIdentifiers" using query string parameters like below:

drugName=<drugName>

The sample postman for local server testing has been added to the /misc/postman directory as a Postman Collection.

Successful Email Submission Response: Sample Response

Error Response where query string parameters are null:

{
    "error": "Query is empty!"
}

CI/CD

Please find the travisci settings in the project root. Alternatively, if you would like to use Codeship, the following setup is currently used:

Setup Commands

npm install
npm i serverless -g

Test Commands

npm test

Deploy Commands (set for master) In the environment variables, the AWS creds are setup along with the INFO_EMAIL that is grabbed via env.yml.

sls deploy -v
