Builds:

I needed a self-contained, data service (no Database) for testing a number of different scenarios with a diverse and robust dataset that also contains some sparseness.

Service runs on Node and Hapi.js.

The service itself and the data contained within service may be useful for testing:

CORS configuration
Server configuration
Bandwidth
Form population
Data visualization
Stubbing out UI components
...

Constantly assailed by 1000+ tests.

Service

Requirements

node.js (14+)

Installation

Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/morgangraphics/simple-superhero-service.git
cd into the directory and pull the test submodule git submodule update --init --recursive
Then install node.js requirements npm install
Generate a self signed cert openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -keyout sss-key.pem -out sss-cert.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=of Confusion/L=Gotham/O=/OU=/CN="
Rename the config/default.example.yaml file to config/default.yaml e.g. cp config/default.example.yaml config/default.yaml
Update the <PLACEHOLDERS> according to your setup
npm run service (production like with pm2) or npm run dev (development) or npm run test (testing)
The self-signed certs will make the browser throw a Potential Security Risk error. Select the Advanced button/link and Accept the risk and continue button/link

Dataset

Data is the comic book character dataset from @fivethrityeight

This folder contains data behind the story Comic Books Are Still Made By Men, For Men And About Men.

The data comes from Marvel Wikia and DC Wikia. Characters were scraped on August 24. Appearance counts were scraped on September 2. The month and year of the first issue each character appeared in was pulled on October 6.

The data is split into two files, for DC and Marvel, respectively: dc-wikia-data.csv and marvel-wikia-data.csv.

Read more about it here: https://datahub.io/five-thirty-eight/comic-characters#readme

Retrieving Data `/marvel` or `/dc`

The base endpoints allow for retrieving data and applying a series of filters to that data to accomplish whatever you need with an array or JSON objects. They can be used in combination with one another

⚠️ THIS IS NOT A DATABASE! Nor is it intended to be. It's primary purpose is to be self contained. As such traditional ANSI SQL like queries with will not work. However, I've approximated some of SQL's functionality as API filters.

Diacritic safe search e.g. tefe holland === tefé holland however, tefé holland != tefe holland

Filter options

Variable Name	Variable	Default	Description
format	format	json	Output format (currently only JSON)
headers	h	all	Available Columns (page_id, name, urlslug, id, align, eye, hair, sex, gsm, alive, appearances, first appearance, year)
help *	help	false	Display Help
limit	limit	100	Limit results (0 = unlimited)
nulls	nulls	first	When sorting, null values show up first or last depending e.g. [null, 1, 2, 3] or [1, 2, 3, null] †
pretty *	pretty	false	Pretty print JSON results
prune *	prune	false	Prune null values from result sets
random * **	random	false	Retrieve a random number of characters based on limit
seed * **	seed	false	Keep the random number of characters consistent between requests
sort	s	unsorted	Sort response asc or desc e.g.s=name,appearances:desc

^{* Shorthand query parameter, meaning its presence automatically equates to true}

^{** Only available on /{character} endpoints}

^{† Does not apply when sorting on column/header which contains a null value, records with null values are removed}

⚠️ The API will ignore any non sanctioned or misspelled filter options (e.g. bimit) and WILL NOT throw an error but will return an empty array.

In many cases where there are multiple characters with the same name (in alternative story lines) the first result is usually the "Original" character. That is how the data is structured. However, you might want to specifically target a character or characters by using the search filters.

Getting Data `/marvel/{character}` or `/dc/{character}`

Character names can have a bit of variation which can be a bit inconsistent between story lines. The official name for Spider-man contains a dash, however, other variants can be Spiderman, Spider man, in addition to Spider-man. The service attempts to use permutation to generate different spellings depending on how the name is entered. If you are unsure, leave a space e.g. spider man and the service will search for spider-man, spiderman, and spider man

Run container docker run --tty --detach --name simple-superhero-service --network host simple-superhero-service:1.0

There are two optional build arguments:

NODE=<EXACT_VERSION_OF_NODE> e.g. NODE=14.21.3 DEFAULT: 14.21.3
NODE_ENV=<development|production> e.g. NOE_ENV=production DEFAULT: development

To access the service at localhost, you must pass in --network host in the run command

Cleanup: docker stop $(docker ps -aq) && docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
