API References

• http://rackhd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rackhd/index.html
• https://bintray.com/rackhd/docs/apidoc#files

The readthedocs shows API usage for 1.1 by default. Unless otherwise specified you can use /api/2.0/ in place of /api/1.1/ to leverage the 2.0 API. Any functional differences will be listed below the 1.1 API examples.

Config

The fileService requires a "fileService" key which holds keys mapping backend strings to their individual config values; it requires at least "defaultBackend" to be among the backend keys. More strings may be added and mapped to injector strings in the fileSevice.injectorMap attribute.

Debugging/Profiling

To run in debug mode to debug routes and middleware:

sudo DEBUG=express:* node --debug index.js

If you're using Node v4 or greater you can use node-inspector to debug and profile from a GUI.

npm install node-inspector -g
node-inspector --preload=false &
sudo DEBUG=express:* node --debug-brk index.js

Note: do not use the node-debug command it doesn't work as well.

CI/Testing

To run tests from a developer console:

npm test

To run tests and get coverage for CI:

# verify hint/style
./node_modules/.bin/jshint -c .jshintrc --reporter=checkstyle lib index.js > checkstyle-result.xml || true
./node_modules/.bin/istanbul cover -x "**/spec/**" _mocha -- $(find spec -name '*-spec.js') -R xunit-file --require spec/helper.js
./node_modules/.bin/istanbul report cobertura
# if you want HTML reports locally
./node_modules/.bin/istanbul report html

Building

Unversioned packages are built automatically from travis-ci and uploaded to bintray.com. Using this repository is detailed in the docs.

Build scripts are placed in the extra/ directory.

• .travis.yml will call the appropriate scripts in extra/ to build an unversioned package.
• extra/make-sysdeps.sh can be used to install system level packages in a Ubuntu system.
• extra/make-cicd.sh will perform all the necessary build steps to generate a version package.

If you want to build your own versioned packages, you can use the Vagrantfile provided in extra/. Simply perform vagrant up and it will run all the necessary steps.

The resulting .deb packages will end up in deb/.
