A REST API for generating and validating Echobind Tokens.
EB Tokens are tokens that are 10 digits long, start with a 9, and are validated by the Luhn Algorithm.
The service is configured using environemnt variables. These variables are loaded from a .env
file. By default the .env
file in the root project folder will be used. However, you can specify a file by passing it using the --envFile
argument when starting the service (e.g. npm run server:start -- --envFile=secrets/env.test
).
A sample env file is provided: ./.env.dist
.
The following environment variables should be provided:
PORT
— The port to listen on.LOG_ENABLED
- If set to a truthy value, logs will be enabled.CORS_ORIGINS
- A comma-separated list of origins that may be included in theAccess-Control-Allow-Origin
response header. Basically if a request is made from an origin included in this list, it will be sent back in theAccess-Control-Allow-Origin
response header. If*
is provided, then*
will be the value of theAccess-Control-Allow-Origin
response header.CORS_METHOS
- The list of methods to included in theAccess-Control-Allow-Methods
response header. If*
is provided, then*
will be the value of theAccess-Control-Allow-Methods
response header.
git clone https://github.com/cullylarson/eb-tokens-api.git
npm install
cp .env.dist .env
vim .env
# set environment variables
Build the project (see the Setup section) and deploy using the environment of your choice. To start the server, run npm run server:start
.
When setting up the service for development, you must use secrets/env.dev
as the name of your env file (see the Configuration section).
-
Start the server using
npm run server:start:dev
. This will start the serer and reload on any change to files in the./server
folder. -
Run
npm run lint
to lint the project.
You can run the service using the provided docker-compose.yml
file using docker-compose up -d
. The service will be listening on port 3000 (unless changed in the env file).
There are two kinds of tests you can run on this service: unit (npm run test:unit
) and integration (npm run test:integration
). Unit tests are just run locally using jest. The integration test are run inside Docker, against the API itself.
To run the integration tests, you will need to create an env file in secrets/env.test
Generates a new, cryptographically random EB Token.
No parameters are accepted by this endpoint.
Content Type: application/json
Status: 200
Parameters:
- token (string). The EB Token.
Validates an EB Token.
Parameters should be passed in the URL.
- token (string: required). The EB Token you should to validated.
Content Type: application/json
Status: 200 in all cases (i.e. whether the token is valid or not).
Parameters:
- isValid (boolean). A boolean value indicating whether the provided token is valid (i.e. true if valid, false if not).
- reasons (object[]). If the token is not valid, this will be an array of objects that specify what was wrong with the token provided. Each object in the array has these values:
- code (string). An error code. This code identifies what went wrong. It will not change for the current API version. See
server/token/token-controller.js
for a list of possible codes. - message (string). A human-readable error message that could be displayed to end-users. This message may change, but will always describe the error.
- code (string). An error code. This code identifies what went wrong. It will not change for the current API version. See
