serenity-challenge-api is a Challenge API Service

The topcoder Challenge API was initially built using the Apigee a127 scaffolding.

Routing is handled by using the swagger config file at api\swagger\swagger.yaml. Routing is done using swagger tools and the a127-magic modules.

Quick Start (running local)

start postgres
create database travis_ci_test psql -c 'create database travis_ci_test;' -U postgres
run db-migrate to create schema grunt dbmigrate
edit config/default.yaml and set disableAuth: true
start the service with grunt in terminal
uncomment HOST="http://localhost:10010" in docs/curl.sh and comment the following line #HOST="http://lc1-challenge-service.herokuapp.com"
run the curl script in the docs dir sh docs/curl.sh in a second console to create 4 test records. (Set INIT=true to create the DROP/CREATE the db and run the migration script -- optional if you skip dbmigrate step 2 )
hit http://localhost:10010/challenges you should now see four records

** also there is a POSTMAN file supplied to add records by hand, You must use the standalone postman app and need to create the enivorment for the url

Swagger

The documentaiton for the API and resources are in swagger. You can view the swagger config using a127 tools or the built in Swagger UI.

To Edit/view swagger config run a127 project edit from project root You can also view the swagger config via the /docs url when the project is running.

Swagger validation

You can test the validity of a swagger configuration file by running grunt yamlTest. All challenges must have a valid yaml file.

Configuration

Configuration is stored in the /config/*.yaml files. The node config module is used to load configuration.

Please see the config documentation: https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki

The "local" config files are all ignored in git.

Configuration:

    app:
        port: 1234 #port to launch
        pg:
            dialect: postgres
            database: serenity_discussions
            username: username
            password: password
            host: host
            port: 5432
        pgURL:

For the database connection you can either use the pg object or the pgURL. The pgURL is looked for first and will override the pg.

Models

We are following a similar patterns to access patterns as we do in the serenity-core repo.

Use a model:

Example for Message model

var datasource = require('./datasource');
var Message = datasource.Message;

// Message is now a Sequelize Model

Node.js design guide.

Please follow Joyent's NodeJS design guide: https://www.joyent.com/developers/node/design Please use 2 spaces instead of tabs. Please use lodash instead of underscore.

Database Migrations

All tables should be setup using db-migrate with migration files in config/schema-migrations.

Migration can be run via grunt grunt dbmigrate

Running the server

You can run the server using grunt which will use the local config.

Tests

Tests are built using mocha tests. They can be run with grunt test. There is an example postman configuration file at test/postman.json. This can be imported into Postman for testing.
