backend dependencies

• mongodb - for storing metadata about the element from github and from the archive
• s3/cloudfront - for storing the demo assets in the archive - aka anything in docs/demo/*

run

To run a dev server with a local mongo and the filesystem as the asset server run:

npm run dev # runs a dev server with change detection

To run prod:

gulp build
node lib/index.js #add params here or have the env vars set.

app params

param	env-var	default	description
--bucket	S3_BUCKET	undefined	set the bucket name - the bucket must exist and be publicly accessible
--prefix	S3_PREFIX	'app'	set the prefix for the app. All assets will be stored under this prefx within the given bucket.
--mongoUri	MONGO_URI	mongodb://localhost:27017/pie-catalog	the mongo uri
--logConfig	LOG_CONFIG	'info'	a log config eg: 'silly'

• if --bucket isn't defined the app uses the local file system as the storage system for assets.

endpoints

The app has 3 main areas of functionality:

• a ui client
• a simple api serving that client
• a store endpoint to which you send your archives

client

just run the app and go to the root of the page, you'll see the client load up. If you don't have any elements stored - you'll just see an empty page. See below for instructions on how to store a pie archive.

api

as above when you run the app you'll see the client interacting with the api.

store

To create an archive for this app you'll need pie-cli. With that installed, cd to a pie that you want to put onto the catalog and:

pie pack -a catalog --createArchive # this will create a `pie-item.tar.gz` with everything that the element needs to run.
cd docs/demo
curl --request POST --data-binary "@pie-item.tar.gz" http://:host/store/ingest # this will send the tar to the app which will the extract the contents and store them in the backend

To delete an element from the catalog run: curl --request DELETE http://:host/api/element/:org/:repo.

Note: At the moment the catalog only ever holds 1 version of an element, so if you send in a newer version with the same org/repo name, the old version will be removed.

test

TODO...

npm test

debug

##./node_modules/.bin/ts-node --debug-brk src/index.ts
./node_modules/.bin/tsc
node --inspect-brk lib/index.js

deploying a preview version

To deploy a preview version of the app for others to look at run:

Note you may need a HEROKU_AUTH_TOKEN exported.

gulp build
./deploy $name_of_heroku_app

You'll have to have the following set up on that heroku app:

• MONGO_URI - a mongo uri to connect to.

This app uses the mongo db + a local .file-store so you'll need to have called ingest with a pie archive for this to run.
