node-file-api v1.1.0

NodeJS IO to API converter

Synopsis

The NFA is meant to be a modern interface for the old IO API that consisted of writting and reading files to a shared directory. This NodeJS API will translate those file IO operations from and to JSON through API endpoints and with Google pubsub.

Environment Variables

NODE_ENV to use with pubsub GCLOUD_PROJECT to use with pubsub FILE_API_PORT to define it's port FILE_API_DIRECTORY to define the directory where the files need to go (without trailing slash.. so ex: /var/www)

Running the app

npm run dev or npm run prod

Sending data:

POST data to the API and NFA will write those commands to a file. Behind the scenes, in order to achieve maximum consistency, NFA will put those commands to a queue, to be later consumed by the file IO system one after the other.

Receiving data:

Data received in files will be sent to clients using Google Pubsub.
