gitrest

Provides a REST API to a GitHub repository. It's API is based off of GitHub's REST APIs.

Building and running

We reuse our production container for this purpose. In development mode this does a double build (once in the container build and a second time when mounting your source directory). Future work may want to create a development specific container.

You can build the container by running.

docker build -t gitrest .

And then mount it for development by running.

docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/home/node/server" -p 3000:3000 gitrest /bin/bash

If you want to debug and test

docker run -p 3000:3000 -p 9229:9229 --rm -t gitrest node --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229 dist/www.js

Alternatively, for development, use docker-compose to start a mounted container

npm run start:dev

Then, when making changes, to update the running container code

npm run build
docker-compose restart gitrest

Build and run alongside local R11s

1. Comment out all services in gitrest/docker-compose.yml except for gitrest, then save.
2. Comment out the gitrest service within routerlicious/docker-compose.yml, then save.
3. Start Routerlicious by following instructions within server/routerlicious/README.md.
4. Run npm run start:dev from gitrest.
5. Troubleshooting: if you see gitrest errors like Repo does not exist /home/node/documents/fluid/fluid, run docker-compose restart from within server/routerlicious.

Testing

docker run -t gitrest npm test
