Swagger generated server

Used during the Hypermedia/Backend lectures

Overview

  • includes fetching data of a book from a database (through Knex.js).
  • includes session management (through cookie-session). To test the session management, go to the Swagger UI interface, try a get to cart/1. It should return an un-authorized error. Try then with a post to user/login and retry with a get over cart/1. Now it should work.

This server was generated through the Swagger editor web app, by uploading the specification in the api directory. It was then modified to add the database connections and cookie management.

Running the server

To run the server, run:

npm start

To view the Swagger UI interface:

open http://localhost:8080/docs

This project leverages the mega-awesome swagger-tools middleware which does most all the work.
