scoparella.api

A Loopback API wrapper around the Scoparella Engine.

The library uses third-party OAuth2 providers to authenticate users before allowing them to take part in games.

The application includes bespoke Terraform scripts targeting Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with an MS SQL back-end.

Tests

In-place

1. Ensure the dockerise MS SQL database is up, and give it around 10 seconds to warm up.
2. Run the tests npm run test:only - this will runs tests with no clean or build.

Standard

1. Ensure the dockerise MS SQL database is up, and give it around 10 seconds to warm up.
2. Run the tests npm t

Inside Docker network

1. Run npm run test:docker - this will spin-up MS SQL and the App inside a docker network and run the tests within a container. It's a chance to test how the app runs once it has been rolled into a Docker image.

Logging

Logging is set to "warn" by default. For more verbose logging set the environment variable LOG_LEVEL. e.g.:

LOG_LEVEL=info npm run start

Options are trace, info, warn or error.

trace is very noisy and is used for local debugging, so is info to a lesser extent. In a production setting we'd set this to warn.
