relax server

Relax Server is a minimum server that connects your clients to a couchdb or any backend api. It provides support for Auth0 or JWT Authentication from the client and proxies the request using the request client and streams.

Why

• Offline First implementation with PouchDB and syncing with a backend CouchDB.
• Backend API Server uses a different key than your users and you don't want to expose the key to your client system.

Environment variables

DB_SERVER=[couchdb url] AUTH0_SECRET=[auth0 secret]

Usage

npm install relax-server -g
SERVER=... JWT_SECRET=... ORIGIN=http://client.now.sh PORT=3000 relax

or

mkdir relax-server-app
cd relax-server-app
touch index.js
npm init -y
npm install relax-server --save

index.js

const server = require('relax-server')

// get secrets....

server(jwt, server, origin)
  .listen(process.env.PORT || 4000)

Development

For development you can create a .env file and put your env variables in the env file. For production, you need to provide the env variables as the app is being invoked.

.env

SERVER=http://localhost:5984
JWT_SECRET=1234
ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000
