# news-server
An API centric news server. Uses Sequelize and mariaDB by default.
# Setup
There are multiple ways to run this app - it can run on it's own via `npm start` (for production) or `npm run dev` (for development). it can also run inside docker using `docker-compose up --build` - run `node configure-script.js` to generate docker-compose.yml.
To generate an authorization token, use [auth-server](https://github.com/krgamestudios/auth-server). A public-facing development auth-server is available here (tokens are 10 minutes):
```
POST https://dev-auth.eggtrainer.com/auth/login HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "kayneruse@gmail.com",
"password": "helloworld"
}
```
# API
```
//NOTE: GET will return an empty array if a specific article can't be found
//NOTE: you can add a "limit" query parameter to change the default limit
GET /news?limit=10
//get latest news, up to a default limit, or specify the index "id"
GET /news/:id
//get the news starting from the beginning, up to a default limit, or specify the index "id"
GET /news/archive/:id
//result (if only a single article is specified, returns just that article rather than an array):
[
{
"index": index, //absolute index of the result
"title": title, //title of the article
"author": author, //author of the aricle
"body": body, //body of the article
"edits": edits //number of times this article has been edited
"createdAt": createdAt //time created
"updatedAt": updatedAt //time updated
},
...
]

//get the metadata starting from the beginning, up to a default limit, or specify the index "id"
