# Pingster Server

> API and scheduled Pingster test runner for your GitHub projects.

## Usage

Clone this repository and run your own instance of Pingster server:

```bash
npm install
npm start

# or for development
npm run watch
```

## Endpoints

- `GET /auth/github` - login user with GitHub OAuth flow
- `GET /auth/github/callback` - GitHub OAuth callback URL
- `GET /list` _(requires GitHub user access token in `privateAccess`)_ - list last run repositories test results
- `POST /rescan` _(requires GitHub user access token in `privateAccess`)_ - force rescan of the repositories and re-run the tests

#### List response example

Here is example response from `GET /list` endpoint. It could be useful if you'd like to create your own UI for showing test results (instead of [pingster-ui](user-interface))

```js
{
// list of user/org repos with pingster config
"repos": [{
// repo data provided by github
"url": "https://github.com/user/app-with-pingster",
"name": "app-with-pingster",
"fullName": "user/app-with-pingster",
"description": "App that has pingster config",
"private": false,
"stars": 2305,
"watchers": 803,
"language": "lua",
"defaultBranch": "master",
"updatedAt": 1519394619000,

// actual pingster config that was used to run tests
"pingsterConfig": {
"httpbin": {
"url": "https://httpbin.org/get?hello=world",
"expect": {
"status": 200,
"data": {
"url": "https://httpbin.org/get?hello=world"
},
"headers": {
"content-type": "application/json"
}
}
}
},

// status of last test run and its' results
"status": "SUCCESS",
"testResults": [{
"success": true,
"response": { ... }, // complete http response
"name": "httpbin",
"url": "https://httpbin.org/get?hello=world",
"expect": {
"status": 200,
"data": {
"url": "https://httpbin.org/get?hello=world"
},
"headers": {
"content-type": "application/json"
}
}
]
}],

// scheduler data
"lastRunAt": 1519395278563,
"nextRunAt": 1519398878563
}
```

## Configuration

Most of the options are self-descriptive (configuration is powered by [c0nfig](https://github.com/voronianski/c0nfig) module):

```js
module.exports = {
port: process.env.NODE_PORT || process.env.PORT || 1985,

// set to `true` if you want to validate user has proper access to repos
privateAccess: false,

scanInterval: 1000 * 60 * 60, // msecs (1 hour)
scanOnServerStart: true,
scanPersistenDriver: 'memory',

github: {
// github organization to scan (higher priority)
org: process.env.GITHUB_ORG,

// or github user to scan
user: process.env.GITHUB_USER,

// api user github authentication
clientId: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,

// organization scanner bot authentication
// make sure your user-bot has proper access to org
personalAccessToken: process.env.GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
}
};
```

You can create as many config files as you have Node.js environments, just follow this simple file name rule - `{NODE_ENV}.config.js`.

## Scanner Authorization

Repository scanner uses [GitHub OAuth non-web application flow](https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorization-options-for-oauth-apps/#non-web-application-flow) which means that you can simply create a personal token of the user that has access to organization here - https://github.com/settings/tokens and add it to proper configuration file.

## User Authorization

Firstly in order to authorize a user you need to register a new GitHub OAuth application here - https://github.com/settings/applications/new.

Please provide `Authorization callback URL` which in our case will be - `https://your.domain/auth/github/callback`.

User needs to open `https://your.domain/auth/github` in the browser and go with GitHub OAuth flow. There's optional `redirect_uri` param which will be used to redirect the user:

```js
'https://your.domain/auth/github?redirect_uri=https://youranother.domain/application'

// will redirect to =>
'https://youranother.domain/application?access_token=ca9d891fa4bdf7ae5039e689c26370a192422541'
```

If param is not provided, JSON response will be provided:

```js
{"access_token": "ca9d891fa4bdf7ae5039e689c26370a192422541"}
```

You need to save `access_token` in browser's cookies or `localStorage` and pass it in all requests that require authentication as `x-access-token` header or `access_token` query param.

## Persistent Drivers

Pingster server comes with several built-in persistency drivers that will save the results of your last test run in order to be able to show this data later.

Though in most cases `'memory'` driver will be enough to make the app display correct data but you might want to consider other options as well:

- `'memory'` - saves last test results in memory (after server restart data is lost until next rescan)
- `'s3'` - saves last test results in [AWS S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3) bucket as one JSON file which is get replaced on every run (you will need to provide `aws` configuration object in config file)
- `'mongodb'` - saves last test results in [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com) collection as the only document which is get replaced on every run (you will need to provide `mongodb` configuration object in config file)

More drivers to come and PRs are welcome!

### Writing Your Own Driver

You are free to write your own drivers in case you have some specific requirements.

Generally driver should conform to the simple `get/set` API and here is a boilerplate:

```js
function get () {
// `get` should always return a Promise
// even if you are doing sync operation
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

});
}

// `set` is not returning anything in any case
function set (obj) {

}

module.exports = { get, set };
```

## User Interface

[Pingster UI](https://github.com/zenmate/pingster-ui) is a single-page app writen in React.js that uses [pingser-server](#endpoints) to display test results.
