NodeJS server for TerriaJS, consisting of a CORS proxy, proj4 CRS lookup service, and express static server.
npm install terriajs-server

--------------------
This is a basic NodeJS Express server that serves up a (not included) static TerriaJS-based site with a few additional useful services:
* /api/v1/proxy: a proxy service which applies CORS headers for data providers that lack them. Add URLs to config.json to enable them.
* /api/v1/proj4def: a proj4 coordinate reference system lookup service.
* /api/v1/proxyabledomains: return a JSON of domains the server is willing to proxy for
* /api/v1/ping: returns 200 OK.
* /api/v1/share/X-Y (GET): uses prefix X to resolve key Y against some configured JSON storage provider (Gist and AWS S3 implemented)
* /api/v1/share (POST): stores a piece of JSON with a configured storage provider (Gist implemented)
* /api/v1/serverconfig: retrieve (safe) information about how the server is configured.
* All other requests are served from the wwwroot directory you provide on the command line, which defaults to ./wwwroot
* If files [wwwroot]/404.html and/or [wwwroot]/500.html exist, they will be served for those HTTP error codes.
* Supports very simple authentication via a single username/password included in requests using HTTP basic authentication.
* Proxied services that require HTTP authentication can be proxied by adding credentials to a proxyauth.json file.
* It can be run in HTTPS mode, although there are better ways of doing that in production.
Generally, you don't want to manually install TerriaJS-Server. It comes installed with TerriaMap (see below).
#### Install
1. git clone https://github.com/terriajs/terriajs-server
2. cd terriajs-server
3. npm install
#### Configure
Copy serverconfig.json.example to serverconfig.json and configure as needed. See comments inside that file. (Comments are allowed; see json5.org).
If you want to proxy authenticated layers, do the same for proxyauth.json.example.
#### Run
1. npm start -- [options] [path/to/wwwroot]
``
terriajs-server.js [options] [path/to/wwwroot]
Options:
--help, -h Show this help. [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
--port Port to listen on. [default: 3001] [number]
--public Run a public server that listens on all interfaces.
[boolean] [default: true]
--config-file File containing settings such as allowed domains to proxy. See
serverconfig.json.example
--proxy-auth File containing auth information for proxied domains. See
proxyauth.json.example
--verbose Produce more output and logging. [boolean] [default: false]
`
For example, to run with port 3009:
npm start -- --port 3009
To run the server in the foreground, you can do this:
node . [arguments as above]
#### Tests
1. Run npm test
Just install TerriaMap. TerriaJS-Server is installed to node_modules/terriajs-server, and you can run it manually as node_modules/terriajs-server ./wwwroot`.
