Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

  • Database: MongoDB Community (Install MongoDB)
  • Redis: The Redis is used to store sessions and other needs you have on your project. Please follow the link to install the Redis, it's required to create a Server API. (Install Redis)

Installation Steps

With the database running, follow the next steps:

  1. Run the command npm install 4hands-api

Getting Started

Create Server

To create a server you will need to instantiate a ServerAPI class into you project main file, or whenever you need it. Check the example below:

const { ServerAPI } = require('4hands-api');

global.API = new ServerAPI({
    projectName: 'project-name',
    API_SECRET: process.env.API_SECRET,
    redisURL: 'redis://192.168.15.102:6379', // Your Redis host address. Default is 'redis://localhost:6379'
    databaseConfig: {
        HOST: 'mongodb://192.168.15.102:27017/', // Your MongoDB host address. Default is 'mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017/'
        dbName: 'project-name', // Your MongoDB database name.
        collections: [
            require('./src/collections/users'),
            require('./src/collections/master_accounts'),
            require('./src/collections/slot_accounts')
        ]
    },
    // Configuring your server e-mail
    emailConfig: {
        type: 'gmail', // Type of email service ('smtp' or 'gmail'). It's recommended to use environment variables .env for this;
        emailUser: '[email protected]', // User email for authentication. It's recommended to use environment variables .env for this;
        emailPassword: 'Af09f09sddssd0fssd09fs0df', // Password for authentication. It's recommended to use environment variables .env for this;
    },
    listenCallback: () => {
        // Your callback after the server is connected with success
    }
});

// Examples of endpoints being declared
API.createEndpoint(require('./src/controllers/master-account/create'));
API.createEndpoint(require('./src/controllers/master-account/delete'));

API.createEndpoint(require('./src/controllers/slot-account/create'));
API.createEndpoint(require('./src/controllers/slot-account/delete'));

API.createEndpoint(require('./src/controllers/transfer/depositWithdraw'));

Create Collection

To create new collection on the database, you'll need to create a main collection file, a class file, a event file and a query file. Which follows the same standard of mongoose. If you want to have a better understanding take a look at mongoose documentation.

Main Collection File

Take a look on the example below to see how a Main Collection File should look.

const {Collection} = require('4hands-api');
const Schema = require('4hands-api/src/models/SchemaDB');
const {ObjectId} = Schema.mongoSchema.Types;

module.exports = new Collection({
    displayName: 'My Collection',
    name: 'my_collection',
    pluralLabel: 'My Collections',
    singularLabel: 'My Collection',
    symbol: 'MC',
    fieldsSet: [
        {
            fieldName: 'user',
            type: ObjectId,
            required: true,
            ref: 'users',
            refConfig: {
                relatedField: 'masterAccounts',
                type: 'array-oid'
            }
        },
        {
            fieldName: 'tasks',
            type: [ObjectId],
            required: true,
            ref: 'master_accounts',
            refConfig: {
                relatedField: 'master',
                type: 'ObjectId'
            }
        },
        {
            fieldName: 'status',
            type: String,
            default: 'activated',
            enum: ['running', 'activated', 'disabled', 'paused', 'error', 'closing-position']
        },
        {
            fieldName: 'count',
            type: Number,
            default: 0
        }
    ]
});

Class File

Take a look on the example below to see how a Class File should look.

const MyCollectionModel = require('../../models/MyCollectionModel');

class MyCollectionClass {
    // It's highly recommended that you provide a model for you collection.
    // To standardize and make more stable your application.
    static BSModel = MyCollectionModel;
    
    // Static properties can be added to use on the database doc read. It will be appended to the document
    static testingStatic = 'This is static';

    // Getters also can be added to use on the database doc read. It will be appended to the document
    get testingGetter() {
        return 'This is a getter';
    }

    // To create a method to be appended to the doc.
    async myMethdod() {
        // Your code here
    }
}

module.exports = MyCollecitonClass;

Event File

Take a look on the example below to see how a Event File should look.

ℹ️ This file is not mandatory, at least you need to perform some action in one of the mongoose events.

async function preSave(next){
    // Perfrom actions before the document is saved. This event require the next param be called in order to continue ahead.
    next();
}

async function preFindOne(next) {
    // Perfrom actions after the document is found
    next();
}

async function preUpdate(next) {
    // Perfrom actions after the document is updated
    next();
}

async function postSave() {
    // Perform actions after the document was saved
}
async function postFindOne() {
    // Perfrom actions after the document was found
}

async function postUpdate() {
    // Perfrom actions after the document was updated
}

module.exports = {
    preSave,
    postUpdate,
    postSave
}

Query File

Take a look on the example below to see how a Query File should look. A good example is when you need to populate the document.

ℹ️ This file is not mandatory, at least you need to perform some action in one of the mongoose query.

function defaultPopulate() {
    return this.populate([
        {
            path: 'user',
            model: 'users'
        },
        {
            path: 'transfers',
            model: 'transfers'
        },
        {
            path: 'botAccounts',
            model: 'bot_accounts',
            populate: [
                {
                    path: 'bot',
                    model: 'bots'
                },
                {
                    path: 'trades',
                    model: 'positions',
                    match: {
                        status: 'opened'
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    ]);
}

module.exports = {
    defaultPopulate
};

Create Endpoint

In order to create an endpoint for your API, you'll have to follow two steps: Create the controller file and loaded it into your server declaration.

Create the controller

In your project create your controller files under src > controllers, you can organized whenever you want, but it's recommanded that your folders structure follows the endpoint URL.

On the example below I created a new controller under src > controllers > transfer > deposit.js. Check the cde example below:

const Endpoint = require('4hands-api/src/models/settings/Endpoint');
const CRUD = require('4hands-api/src/services/database/crud');

module.exports = new Endpoint({
    method: 'PUT',                                    // Choose the method of the endpoint
    routePath: '/transfer/deposit',                   // Path for the endpoint
    isAuthRoute: true,                                // Protect the route for authenticated users
    bodySchema: {                                     // This is the schema for the params be validated
        master: { type: String, required: true },
        type: { type: String, required: true },
        value: { type: Number, required: true }
    },
    controller: async (req, res) => {                 // The controller to handle the endpoint
        try {
            const body = req.body;
            const transfered = await CRUD.create('transfers', {...body, user: req.session?.user?._id});
            const response = transfered.toObject();

            response.success = true;
            return res.status(201).send(response);
        } catch(err) {
            const error = logError(err);
            return res.status(500).send(error);
        }
    }
});

Load the controller into main server file

Got to the main server file on you api, the place where you declared the ServerAPI instance.

const { ServerAPI } = require('4hands-api');

global.API = new ServerAPI({
    // ServerAPI settings properties
});

// ############################################################################
// ADD THE NEW CONTROLLER HERE
API.createEndpoint(require('./src/controllers/transfer/deposit'));
// ############################################################################

User Authentication

The 4hands API has two default endpoints to be used on authentication that is loaded when a ServerAPI is instantiated: /auth/login and /auth/register.

[POST] /auth/register

Params

| name | type | description | | ---- | ---- | ----------- | | email | string | (Required) The email param will be the username of the new user. | | password | string | (Required) Password of account | | confirmPassword | string | (Required) Confirmation of password | | firstName | string | (Required) The user's first name | | lastName | string | (Required) The user's last name | | phone | string | The user's phone |

Success Response

Returns the new user document. One of the properties on the response is token, this token will be required on the request headers for every endpoint that is auth protected with isAuthRoute set as true, so store it into the cookies to use later.

[POST] /auth/login

Params

| name | type | description | | ---- | ---- | ----------- | | email | string | (Required) The email param will be the username of the new user. | | password | string | (Required) Password of account |

Success Response

Returns the new user document. One of the properties on the response is token, this token will be required on the request headers for every endpoint that is auth protected with isAuthRoute set as true, so store it into the cookies to use later.

Sign-up E-mail Confirmation

If you'd like to set the ServerAPI to send a confirmation e-mail and a new user sign-up, you need first to set the emailConfig property of ServerAPI instance. Check below: Check how to set the emailConfig

Validating a confirmation e-mail

To validate the confirmation e-mail link received, you'll have to create a page on your project front-end side with the following path: /dashboard/email-confirmation. This page will receive the confirmationtoken as a query string param on the page's URL. This token needs to be sent to the API endpoint in charge of validate the email and enable the user. Check below the endpoint which should receive the token to validate.

[POST] /auth/confirm-email

Params | name | type | description | | ---- | ---- | ----------- | | confirmationtoken | string | (Required) It's the token received on the e-mail's URL as a search param |

Success Response You'll receive back a { success: true } if the e-mail was successfully validated.

Password Recovery

To reset a user's password you'll have to first send a New Password E-mail using the endpoint /auth/reset-password/send-email as a POST request, and then when you received the e-mail with the link you'll send a ajax PUT request to /auth/reset-password/create-new.

[POST] /auth/reset-password/send-email

Params | name | type | description | | ---- | ---- | ----------- | | email | string | (Required) The user's email account to recover the password. |

Success Response You'll receive back a { success: true } if the e-mail was successfully validated.

[PUT] /auth/reset-password/create-new

Params | name | type | description | | ---- | ---- | ----------- | | newPassword | string | (Required) The user's new password. | | confirmPassword | string | (Required) The confirmation for the new password | | resettoken | string | (Required) The resettoken searchparam received on the e-mail link. | | useremail | string | (Required) The useremail searchparam received on the e-mail link. |

Success Response You'll receive back a { success: true } if the e-mail was successfully validated.

Send E-mails (MailService)

To use e-mails on your ServerAPI instance, you'll need to set the emailConfig property of ServerAPI. The MailService instance will be always available at ServerAPI properties after instantiated, to access e-mail features use the ServerAPI.mailService property. Check below a example of email configuring:

global.API = new ServerAPI({
    // ...
    emailConfig: {
        type: 'gmail', // (Required) Type of email service ('smtp' or 'gmail').
        host: 'smtp.mydomain.com', // Hostname for the SMTP server (for 'smtp' type). It's recommended to use environment variables .env for this;
        smtpPort: 465, // Port number for the SMTP server (for 'smtp' type). Default is 465.
        isSecure: true, // Indicates whether the connection is secure (for 'smtp' type). Default is false.
        emailUser: '[email protected]', // (Required) User email for authentication. It's recommended to use environment variables .env for this;
        emailPassword: 'Af09f09sddssd0fssd09fs0df' // (Required) Password for authentication. It's recommended to use environment variables .env for this;
    },
    // ...
});
