# Mobicoop V3 - Configuration Service
Configuration items management. Used to configure and store all services using redis as database.
Each item consists in :
- a **domain** : each service is associated with one or more domains, represented by an uppercase string (eg. _USER_)
- a **key** : the key of the configuration item (a string)
- a **value** : the value of the configuration item (always a string, each service must cast the value if needed)
This service centralizes the configuration items, but theoratically each service should "push" its items toward the configuration service.
Practically, it's the other way round as it's easier to use this configuration service as the single source of truth. This is why configuration items key and domain are immutable : services may use hardcoded domain-key pairs. Therefore, only values can be updated.
## Available domains
- **CARPOOL** : carpool related configuration items (eg. default number of seats proposed as a driver)
- **PAGINATION** : pagination related configuration items (eg. default number of results per page)
New domains will be added in the future depending on the needs !
## Requirements
You need [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/) and its [compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) plugin.
You also need NodeJS installed locally : we **strongly** advise to install [Node Version Manager](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) and use the latest LTS version of Node (check that your local version matches with the one used in the Dockerfile).
The API will run inside a docker container, **but** the install itself is made outside the container, because during development we need tools that need to be available locally (eg. ESLint, Prettier...).
A RabbitMQ instance is also required to send / receive messages when data has been inserted/updated/deleted.
## Installation
- copy `.env.dist` to `.env` :
```bash
cp .env.dist .env
```
Modify it if needed.
- install the dependencies :
```bash
npm install
```
- start the containers :
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
The app runs automatically on port **5003**.
## Database migration
Redis database is automatically populated at the start of the service. If keys already exists in the database, items are preserved.
## Usage
The app exposes the following [gRPC](https://grpc.io/) services :
- **Get** : get a configuration item by its domain and key
```json
{
"domain": "CARPOOL",
"key": "seatsProposed"
}
```
- **Set** : update a configuration item
```json
{
"domain": "CARPOOL",
"key": "seatsProposed",
"value": "3"
}
```
## Tests / ESLint / Prettier
Tests are run outside the container for ease of use.
```bash
# run all tests (unit + integration)
npm run test
# unit tests only
npm run test:unit
# integration tests only
npm run test:integration
# coverage
npm run test:cov
# ESLint
npm run lint
# Prettier
npm run pretty
```
