Micropub Endpoing

WARNING: Very very alpha right now do not use. Thanks.

What is this?

This is a nodejs micropub endpoint that can either be run as a standalone endpoint and data retreived via a rest api, or as a module in an express project.

It includes a bunch of cool features (or I think they're cool anyway...)

Features

• Supports micropub posting, actions and queries
• Media endpoint
• Automatically downloads images to your local media folder
• Image resizing
• Markdown parsing
• Automatic webmention sending
• Grabs referenced urls as microformats2
• Highly exensible via middleware
• Supports multiple database adapters
• Realtime updates and data replication

Behind the scenes

This endpoint is powered by RxDB

Image resizing with sharp

Webmentions with send-webmention

Plain text processing with marked

Usage

Standalone

npm install -g grantcodes/micropub-endpoint micropub-endpoint --config=/home/user/micropub-endpoint-config.json

As a node module

npm install grantcodes/micropub-endpoint

const express = require('express') const micropubEndpoint = require('micropub-endpoint') const app = express() const myEndpoint = micropubEndpoint(/config/)

app.use('/micropub', myEndpoint.router) app.listen(80)

Config

Configuration can be done in a json file or passed as an object when using this as a node module
