# spas

`spas` is a server sitting in between your SPA (single-page application) and PostgreSQL database. It provides an auto-generated REST API for the PostgreSQL data using PostgREST.

## Basic idea

* Create a thin server wrapping [PostgREST](https://github.com/begriffs/postgrest) with these additional features:

* Static file serving

* Authentication (using basic auth for now)

## Getting started

```

$ export SPAS_USERNAME=myname

$ export SPAS_PASSWORD=mypassword

$ export DATABASE_URL=postgres://...  # also provided by Heroku

$ export PORT=4000

$ cd /path/to/static/files && spas

...

```

See https://github.com/srid/chronicle for an Elm application that uses spas.
