Anvil system striker web interface API
About NPM projects
In essence, this module and the striker web interface module share the same management workflows:
- All
npmcommands must be executed at the project root or lower level(s). - To prepare the workspace, run
npm install. - To produce a production build, run
npm run build.
One major difference is there's no live development mode in this project.
See the striker we interface's README for more details.
Run prerequisites
- This API module is targetted at NodeJS version 10, which is the default on CentOS/RHEL 8.
- All executables/files listed in
src/lib/consts/SERVER_PATHS.tsand their respective dependencies are required.
Build
Run npm run build to produce a minified script at out/index.js. The output script can be executed with NodeJS assuming all prerequisites are met.
There's no need to remove the old build prior to a new build because the build process always overwrites the one file.
systemd expects the build to be placed exactly at /usr/share/striker-ui-api/index.js on a striker.
Logs
At the time of writing, no logging library was added. Logs are either stdout or stderr without levels. When the API runs as a service, its logs can be viewed with journalctl --unit striker-ui-api.
Due to the large amount of logs produced, it's highly recommended to note the time of a test, and specify a time frame with journalctl --since <date parsable time> --until <date parsable time> to help with the search.
Systemd service
The service file of this API module is located in ../units/. Environment varibles can be set with the Environment=<variable name>=<value> directive, i.e., to set the main server's port to 80, use Environment=PORT=80.
Environment varibles
Variables can be set to affect the API's funtionalities, i.e. listen on a different port. A complete list with explanations is located at src/lib/consts/ENV.ts
