James Taylor 82b1249f4e Improve Docker support
- default command should be start, rather than start:dev in the docker image
- added a multistage build
- fixed node-gyp error
- removed dev dependencies
- added a start:dotenv script to support a .env file in production (may be useful for
k8s later)
- updated Readme and generateEnv script to simplify the setup
- updated external network in docker-compose.yaml to match the test network

# Fabric REST sample
Prototype sample REST server to demonstrate good Fabric Node SDK practices for parts of [FAB-18511](https://jira.hyperledger.org/browse/FAB-18511)
The primary aim of this sample is to show how to write a long running client application using the Fabric Node SDK
The REST API is intended to work with the [basic asset transfer example](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/tree/main/asset-transfer-basic)
To install the basic asset transfer chaincode on a local Fabric network, follow the [Using the Fabric test network](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-2.2/test_network.html) tutorial
## Usage
**Note:** these instructions should work with the release-2.2 branch of `fabric-samples` but later versions require some changes
To build and start the sample REST server, you'll need to [download and install an LTS version of node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
Clone this repository and change to the `fabric-rest-sample/asset-transfer-basic/rest-api-typescript` directory before running the following commands
Install dependencies
```shell
npm install
```
Build the REST server
```shell
npm run build
```
Create a `.env` file to configure the server for the test network (make sure TEST_NETWORK_HOME is set to the fully qualified `test-network` directory)
```shell
TEST_NETWORK_HOME=$HOME/fabric-samples/test-network npm run generateEnv
```
Start a Redis server
```shell
npm run start:redis
```
Start the sample REST server
```shell
npm run start:dev
```
### Docker image
Alternatively, run the following commands in the `fabric-rest-sample/asset-transfer-basic/rest-api-typescript` directory to start the sample in a Docker container
Build the Docker image
```shell
docker build -t fabric-rest-sample .
```
Create a `.env` file to configure the server for the test network (make sure `TEST_NETWORK_HOME` is set to the fully qualified `test-network` directory and `AS_LOCAL_HOST` is set to `false` so that the server works inside the Docker Compose network)
```shell
TEST_NETWORK_HOME=$HOME/fabric-samples/test-network AS_LOCAL_HOST=false npm run generateEnv
```
Start the sample REST server and Redis server
```shell
docker-compose up -d
```
## REST API
If everything went well, you can now make basic asset transfer REST calls!
The examples below require a `SAMPLE_APIKEY` environment variable which must be set to an API key from the `.env` file created above.
For example, to use the ORG1_APIKEY...
```
SAMPLE_APIKEY=$(grep ORG1_APIKEY .env | cut -d '=' -f 2-)
```
### Get all assets...
```shell
curl --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" http://localhost:3000/api/assets
```
### Check whether an asset exists...
```shell
curl --include --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" --request OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
```
### Create an asset...
```shell
curl --include --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" --request POST --data '{"id":"asset7","color":"red","size":42,"owner":"Jean","appraisedValue":101}' http://localhost:3000/api/assets
```
### Read transaction status...
```shell
curl --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" http://localhost:3000/api/transactions/__transaction_id__
```
### Read an asset...
```shell
curl --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
```
### Update an asset...
```shell
curl --include --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" --request PUT --data '{"id":"asset7","color":"red","size":11,"owner":"Jean","appraisedValue":101}' http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
```
### Transfer an asset...
```shell
curl --include --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" --request PATCH --data '[{"op":"replace","path":"/owner","value":"Ashleigh"}]' http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
```
### Delete an asset...
```shell
curl --include --header "X-Api-Key: ${SAMPLE_APIKEY}" --request DELETE http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
```
