Nodesole

Nodesole is a collaborative web console tool with scriptable events.

Requirements

• Node: v0.10.4+

Installation

You can install from npm:

npm install nodesole

Or from git:

1. Clone repo to a directory
2. Run npm install

In either case: copy distribution configuration to runnable configuration:

• `cp server/config.js-dist server/config.js
• `cp client/js/config.js-dist client/js/config.js

Running

node server/bin/main.js

or

npm start

Extension System

Nodesole's system is extendable by creating a script in the server/scripts directory. This allows for the creation of custom commands and actions.

See nodesole-scripts for implementation details.

Socket.io connection via API Key

It is possible to connect to Nodesole's socket.io interface through with use of an access key:

1. Create api.json in the root directory of nodesole.
2. Added an array of users you wish to have access via an API key (see a below).
3. When creating the connection, set the query option to contain the API key (see b below)

a:

[
    {
        "username": "someuser",
        "key": "a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3"
    }
]

b:

var socket = io.connect('localhost', {
    query: 'key=a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3'
});

Roadmap

• Test cases for server app.
• Logging throughout event structure of server app.

Open Source Used
