Setting up

So, first of you need to fetch a few things and install. These should be available as packages from you favorite package manager.

1. nvm
2. node v6.3.1
3. Postgres v9.4

Grab the repo:

git clone https://github.com/FuelRats/api.fuelrats.com.git

Install all of the required Node modules:

cd api.fuelrats.com
npm install webpack@^2.1.0-beta
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install

Make sure that you have created the databases required:

su postgres
psql -c 'CREATE DATABASE fuelrats;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE DATABASE fuelratsTest;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE USER fuelrats;' -U postgres
psql -c "ALTER USER fuelrats PASSWORD 'fuelrats';" -U postgres
exit

And if you want to use a different username or password, you can use them instead and set the new ones in your config.json

Now start the server!

npm run dev

This will ensure that Postgres is running as a service and start the API itself on either port 8080 or whatever port you've set in config.json.

Common Problems

"Missing indexes" or an empty object is returned

Your databases are empty, home slice. You can use our import script to grab a bunch of archived FuelRats data.

Development

To work for realsies you need to copy the config-example.json file and update any settings you need changed:

cp config-example.json config.json

The npm run dev task starts the API and will automatically restart it when you change a file. Simply kill the process when you're done. Good luck, and may the force be with you.

Generating the docs

It's so easy a DerryBear could do it! Just run the generator script:

node bin/compile-docs.js
