npm install

From here, you can npm start to launch the service, or npm run dev to launch the service with auto-restart when source files are changed.

Pull requests and commit messages

This repo follows Conventional Commits, a standard format for writing commit messages. Each commit message becomes an entry in CHANGELOG.md, and the commit messages are also used to determine what version bump to apply.

Read more about Conventional Commits for a description and examples!

If you are working on a pull request, don't worry about commit message format. Commit early and often.

When your pull request is merged, "squash and merge" should be used, and a Conventional Commit message written at that point. In this way, your pull request will become a single commit in the master branch and one entry in the CHANGELOG will be created.

Configuration

Configuration can be provided by CLI flags, environment variables, or a configuration file. Arguments are processed in that order, so CLI flags take precedence over environment variables, which take precedence over the configuration file.

Note about the filepath configurations, config file, upload dir, and webroot: they must be absolute paths when defined in an environment variable or config file. When defined in CLI options like, they can be written relative to CWD. Example: --config-file=./config.json

SPA metadata

Each deployed SPA gets a hidden directory inside webroot which houses two files that contain some SPA metadata, ref and name.

For example, a SPA deployed with name "My App", path /my-app, and ref v1.0.0 would result in a webroot that looks like this:

www
├── .my-app
│   ├── name
│   └── ref
└── my-app
    └── index.html

API

/deploy

Deploy a SPA to SPAndx. A very simple Web UI is provided, or the deployment can be automated with an HTTP request.

With cURL

NAME="My Awesome Application"
SPA_PATH="/my-app"
REF="v1.0.0"
curl -v -F upload=@test.zip -F name="$NAME" -F path="$SPA_PATH" -F ref="$REF" localhost:8008/deploy

Change localhost:8008 to the host and port the service is running on. Change APP_NAME to your preferred app name, and test.zip to the archive you want to upload.

With the web UI

When you run the deployment service, it will print something like:

Listening on http://localhost:8008

Open that URL in a browser and you'll see a form for uploading apps.

/list

Returns a list of all deployed SPAs. If they have a metadata directory, that metadata will be included.

Here's an example response from /list. Two apps are listed in the example, "SPAnom" has metadata and "SPAnonymous" does not.

[
    {
        "name": "SPAnominal",
        "path": "/spanominal",
        "ref": "v1.0.0"
    },
    {
        "name": null,
        "path": "/spanonymous",
        "ref": null
    }
]

A few notes about the response.

• path is not stored in the metadata directory; it's inferred from the SPA's directory in the webroot.
• The "SPAnonymous" app has null values for name and ref because it was not deployed with /deploy, but it's included so that /list provides a complete report of what paths are being made available.
