couch-proxy

express server daemon to host angular apps & proxy couchdb calls locally

This project arose as a way to run a collection of angular apps using CouchDB as a backend. We did not want the data server exposed to the network. The daemon needed to report calls to CouchDB and related errors, both to file logs and email. The project inculdes a couch-proxy.service file for running with systemd.

USAGE:

clone the repo, then npm init
add static apps by adding:
app.use('/myapp', serveStatic('myapp'));
to the hosted apps section and:
app.use('/myapp/couch', proxy(COUCH_URL + ':' + COUCH_PORT, {
proxyReqBodyDecorator: function(bodyContent, srcReq) {
buildReqInfo('myapp', bodyContent, srcReq);
return bodyContent;
},
userResDecorator: function(proxyRes, proxyResData, userReq, userRes) {
buildLogData(proxyResData);
return proxyResData;
}
}));
to the couch proxy section.

This daemon is meant for angular apps, but any app wanting to access CouchDB would work. All calls to CouchDB will need 'couch/ pre-pended:

host = 'https://myserver/myapp/couch/';

in Angular (where http = HttpClient):

http.get(host + dbname + '/_all_docs?incluce_docs=true&limit=20'); //-- or whatever...

and within index.html, set:

<base href="/myapp/">

in Angular:

ng build myapp --base-href /myapp/

or within the myapp section of angular.json:

"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
"options": {
"baseHref": "/myapp/",

Please feel free to use this daemon and modify it any way for your own apps...
