DISCLAIMER: THIS IS SAMPLE CODE AND NOT PRODUCTION QUALITY CODE!

This sample contains a Node.ACS service that manages book objects and uses the MongoDB Node.JS driver to make database API calls to MonogoHQ, which acts as a backend service to manage the data.

Use this sample with the BookClient sample for a demonstration of a client-server project.

To use this sample, clone this repo, then either import it into Studio or run acs commands from the cloned directory.

This sample was tested against Node.ACS CLI 1.0.2.

To import this project into Studio:

1. From the menu bar, select File > Import. The Import wizard appears.
2. Select General > Existing Folder as New Project. Click Next.
3. Click Browse and navigate to the cloned repo. Click Finish.

Studio creates a new project.

Before running BookService, you need to setup the MongoHQ backend:

1. Go to http://www.mongohq.com and create an account.
2. Select to create a free database.
3. Create a collection called book.
4. In the controllers/book.js file, modify the BASE_URL variable to point to your Mongo URI. You can find the Mongo URI in the Admin console of your database. It looks similar to: mongodb://foobar:[email protected]:<port_number>/<db_name>

In Studio,

1. Select your project in the App Explorer or Project Explorer view.
2. Click on the Run button and choose Local Node.ACS Server.
3. Once the service starts, the local port number assigned to the service is displayed in the Console view.

Use http://localhost:<port_number> to access the running service.

From the terminal, go to the cloned repo and run the following command:

acs run

Your service can be accessed using http://localhost:8080.

From a terminal, you can run the following commands:

Notes:

1. You may need to modify your port number in these commands.
2. _id refers to the ID assigned by the Mongo service.

Command:

curl -X POST -d "author=<author>" -d "title=<title>" http://localhost:8080/book

Example:

curl -X POST -d "author=Tina Fey" -d "title=Bossypants" http://localhost:8080/book

Response:

{
    "title": "Bossypants",
    "author": "Tina Fey",
    "_id": "51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001"
}

Command:

curl http://localhost:8080/book

Response:

[
    {
        "title": "Bossypants",
        "author": "Tina Fey",
        "_id": "51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001"
    }
]

Command:

curl http://localhost:8080/book/_id

Example:

curl http://localhost:8080/book/51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001

Response:

{
    "title": "Bossypants",
    "author": "Tina Fey",
    "_id": "51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001"
}

Command:

curl -X PUT -d "author=<author>" -d "title=<title>" http://localhost:8080/book/_id

Example:

curl -X PUT -d "author=Tina Fey" -d "title=Some Other Book" http://localhost:8080/book/51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001

Reponse:

{
    "_id": "51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001",
    "title": "Some Other Book",
    "author": "Tina Fey"
}

Command:

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/book/_id

Example:

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/book/51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001

Response:

{
    "_id": "51a7ba0793ccb660cd000001",
    "title": "Some Other Book",
    "author": "Tina Fey"
}

To publish BookService to the cloud:

1. Select your project in the App Explorer or Project Explorer view.
2. Click on the Publish button, then select Deploy App.
3. Once your application is deployed, a dialog appears providing you information about the endpoint URL for the application.

By default, the service URL will be http://<app_id>.cloudapp.appcelerator.com or http://<app_id>.cloudapp-enterprise.appcelerator.com, where <app_id> is the generated ID for your application. It may take a few minutes for the service to be available.

To retrieve the service URL later, select Publish > View Node.ACS Service, which opens the service in your default web browser.
