NodeJS Backend

An Express app exposing a single endpoint, which leverages an SVOD API and returns the longest preview media URL.

Up and Running

Ensure Docker is running.

With just the image

Run docker run -d -p 8085:8085 --name gaia adamcaron/gaia-backend

With the source code

git clone git@github.com:adamcaron/gaia-backend.git
cd gaia-backend

Run bash run.sh

For development

Run bash run-dev.sh

Source code at /src is mounted into the container.

To run tests

The following command runs the test suite locally in a container.

Test output renders in the console and the container is removed / deleted after tests are complete.

Run bash run-test.sh

Source code and test directories are mounted into the container.

Endpoints

Navigate to http://localhost:8085/v1/terms/26681/longest-preview-media-url for JSON output including the longest preview's media url ("bcHLS"), the title's node id, the preview's node id, and the preview's duration. Output depends on an initial term id of 26681 and additional resources being accessible from Gaia's API, and looks something like the following:

{
  "bcHLS": "https://hls.gaia.com/hls/41096/master.m3u8?expiration=1496718000&token=576bf444c25f9370445fd3376af4235b348b0d6127d07a15f9fb38998b3007db",
  "titleNid": "34871",
  "previewNid": "41096",
  "previewDuration": "314"
}

Shoutout to voronianski/express-api-sample for API design inspiration. It seemed cleaner to build this app from scratch using parts from that template rather than fork the original and rip out large chunks of code, especially given differences in tooling and feature requirements, and syntax preferences.
