Code for my Becoming a Polyglot talk

In this repository are examples in several languages of a basic API in a common framework for that language. They all use the same mongodb backend, and all use the same single page HTML application.

All of them run at http://localhost:3000

The following paths work in each environment:

• /api/quotes => quote list
• /api/quotes/random => random quote
• / => hello world from the framework
• /demo => Single page HTML application

You will need to have mongodb installed and running. Installation info for the major platforms is at https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/

To insert the information from the quoteid.json file to get your DB started, use the following command:

mongoimport --collection quotes --file ../data/quoteid.json --type json --jsonArray

# PHP
$ php composer.phar install 

$ pecl install mongo
$ php -i | grep ini - add extension=mongo.so to this file, or create it
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:3000 -t ./public/ ./public/index.php

cd python; python setup.py install; python flask-server.py

cd node; npm install; node express-server.js cd node; npm install; node hapi-server.js

cd ruby; gem install bundler; bundle install; ruby sinatra-server.rb

sudo cpan -i -f Dancer Dancer::Plugin::CRUD JSON MongoDB; perl dancer-server.pl

You can skip all of the setup instructions below and use the docker container if you like. First, install docker from http://www.docker.com/toolkit Next:

• Start the docker shortcut utility, note the IP address it gives
• docker run -i -t -p 80:3000 synedra/polyglot /bin/bash
• /etc/init.d/mongodb start
• cd ../data
• mongoimport --collection quotes --file ../data/quoteid.json --type json --jsonArray
• run the startup command for whichever language you like
• The server will be running on http://{docker-ip}
