Serves the Data Together JSON API.

This component in isolation doesn't do much, but when connected to the project as a whole it provides a variety of endpoints over https, which can be used to extract information from the Data Together database.

• install docker and docker-compose
  • if you are new to docker, you may want to test your install with the default test case
• in the project directory, run ``docker-compose build && docker-compose up`
• the API should now be running at http://localhost:3200/, and the following endpoints should work:
  • http://localhost:3200/urls for a list of URL's in the database
  • http://localhost:3200/urls/{id} for an indivudual URL
  • http://localhost:3200/primers for a list of primers
  • http://localhost:3200/users for a list of users
  • http://localhost:3200/users/{id} for an individual user
  • http://localhost:3200/primers for a list of primers
  • http://localhost:3200/primers/{id} for an individual primer
  • http://localhost:3200/sources for a list of data sources
  • http://localhost:3200/sources/{id} for an individual source
  • http://localhost:3200/repositories for a list of repositories
  • http://localhost:3200/repository/{id} for an in ndividual repository
  • http://localhost:3200/coverage for a coverage tree associated with root URLs
  • http://localhost:3200/collections for a list of collections
  • http://localhost:3200/collections/{id} for an individual collectoin see below for more information

The API documentation is OpenAPI/Swagger compliant and is generated by the spectacle node module. You will likely want to explore these docs, so you should generate them!

1. Install spectacle with npm -g install spectacle-docs
2. To dynamically generate API docs as you work, run spectacle -d open_api.yaml and edit open_api.yaml to see changes
3. Generate Static docs with spectacle open_api.yaml
4. Commit. Rinse. Repeat.

Right now modifying & updating code is a huge pain, but this is at least a start.
