Library API

Custom library api used to stream/download personal library collection.

TODO:

• Convert to Typescript for future readability
• Use RxJS Observables instead of generic Promises
• Improve stream handling

Uses:

• ExpressJS
• JWT Tokens
• MongoDB
• tmux

Requirements:

• npm
• tmux

Notes:

To use a JWT secret other than the one used for dev, set the API_SECRET environment variable.

To connect to a MongoDB server, just set environment variables for:

• LIBRARY_MONGO_URL
• LIBRARY_MONGO_USER
• LIBRARY_MONGO_PASS

Library API uses tmux as a way to help start up the express server on reboots, passing the environment variables through. It expects .env to be set in the base of the project.

Running:

npm install # OR yarn
node server # OR ./open-library
