Setting up

So, first of you need to fetch a few things and install. These should be available as packages from your favorite package manager.

1. nvm
2. yarn
3. Postgres v9.4

Grab the repo:

git clone https://github.com/FuelRats/api.fuelrats.com.git

Install all of the required Node modules:

cd api.fuelrats.com
nvm install 8.8.1
yarn

Start postgres and create the databases required:

su postgres
psql -c 'CREATE DATABASE fuelrats;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE EXTENSION citext;' -U postgres fuelrats
psql -c 'CREATE DATABASE fuelratsTest;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE EXTENSION citext;' -U postgres fuelratstest
psql -c 'CREATE USER fuelrats;' -U postgres
psql -c "ALTER USER fuelrats PASSWORD 'SqueakBaby';" -U postgres
exit

If you want to use a different username or password, you can use them instead and set the new ones in your config.json

Now start the server!

node index.js

This will start the API service on either port 8082 or whatever port you've set in config.json.

Common Problems

"Missing indexes" or an empty object is returned

Your databases are empty. You will need to either import some archived data or create some random test data with the example generator script

Generating the docs

It's so easy a DerryBear could do it! Just run the generator scripts:

npm run jsdoc
npm run apidoc

The docs will be created under static/docs and therefore accessible via http://[server]:[port]/docs/ e.g. http://localhost:8081/docs/js or http://localhost:8081/docs/api

Running Tests

The test suite is comprised of a number of nodeunit tests. To run the entire suite, simply use:

npm test

If you wish to run individual tests, you can launch either an individual group:

npm test login

or even specify a single test within the group:

npm test login resetPassword

When running the entire test suite or a test group, any ouput to stderr or stdout is muted to keep the build process clean. If you run the tests individually, this output is restored to aid test development.
