Ripple Gateway Express Interface

Designed to plug into the node Express web framework on the front end and interface with a Ripple Gateway Data Adapter to perform Gateway API calls.

The Ripple Gateway Express module is a drop-in replacement for the express node module, to which has been added http routes mapped to Ripple Gateway API calls.

Authentication is provided

Installation

npm install ripple-gateway-express

Usage

var express = require('express');
var ExpressGateway = require('ripple-gateway-express');
var TestAdapter = require('ripple-gateway-data').TestAdapter;

var gatewayApi = new TestAdapter();

// bind the express server routes to the Gateway API backend
gatewayExpress = new ExpressGateway(express(), gatewayApi);

http.createServer(gatewayExpress);

Authentication

By default http basic authentication is provided, but this will be abstracted using an interface adapter pattern in the future.

Include the Authorization header in an HTTP request, with the value being a Base64 encoding of the username joined to the password with a colon.

Authorization Base64(username:password)
