Server API Reference Documentation

Prerequisites:

You will need:

• A Postgres database
• golang 1.3 or greater
• Node.js 0.10.x or greater and npm

For development, you may also need:

• Protocol Buffers (notably, protoc

How to install:

1. Run make (will generate "./FindMyDevice")

• For Production level installs, you will need to also run: make build-prod This will create a ./static/dist/ directory containing prebuild items.

1. Modify config.ini to reflect your system and preferences.

Running:

GOPATH needs to be set to the root install directory. e.g.

./runserver.bash

Managing your database

The FindMyDevice binary exposes 3 arguments to manage your schema changes.

--ddlcreate "change description" --ddlupgrade --ddldowngrade "SHA revision" --ddllog

All DDL changes are kept in subdirectories under sql/patches with a SHA1 hash and the change description in the directory name.

Each patch directory contains : - upgrade.sql - downgrade.sql.orig (optional) - prev.txt - description.txt

Any other files are ignored.

The upgrade.sql script is used for processing version upgrades of the DDL.

A downgrade.sql.orig file is added to the patch directory, if you do not rename it to downgrade.sql, no downgrade is defined downgrades will halt at this version.

prev.txt keeps track of the previous version that this patch is a child of. This prevents merging of multiple branches where simultaneous branches may cause multiple head database versions. In the case of multiple heads, an upgrade will abort.

description.txt includes the comment which is passed to --ddlcreate

Adding a new dependency

# Checkout project into proper workspace
export GOPATH=~/FindMyDevice-workspace
git clone git@github.com:mozilla-services/FindMyDevice.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla-services/FindMyDevice

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mozilla-services/FindMyDevice

# Restore current deps to workspace
godep restore

# Add your new dep
go get github.com/mozilla-services/heka/client

# Save deps
godep save ./...

Then, commit Godeps.json and Godeps/_workspace/src/github.com/mozilla-services/heka/.
