@fabric/http — HTTP support for Fabric applications

Robust library for implementing Fabric-enabled Web Applications.

What is Fabric?

Fabric is an attempt at replicating the World Wide Web ("the WWW") as a peer-to-peer network, using payment relationships to exchange documents and scale the network. @fabric/http provides a framework for hosting Fabric-enabled applications over HTTP, allowing them to be used as "edge servers" for legacy web users.

Quick Start

Building applications with @fabric/http is easy.

mkdir some-project && cd some-project
npm init # Initialize the project
npm i --save @fabric/http # Install the @fabric/http dependency

Create an application by creating a new file (here we've used scripts/node.js), containing the following:

scripts/node.js:

'use strict';

// Dependencies
const SPA = require('@fabric/http/types/spa');

// Main Process
async function main () {
  const spa = new SPA({
    name: 'Example Application',
    synopsis: 'Simple demonstration of a single-page application.',
    resources: {
      'Todo': {
        description: 'A to-do list item.'
      }
    }
  });

  // Start the Process
  await spa.start();

  // Return reference
  return { id: spa.id };
}

main().catch((exception) => {
  console.log('[FABRIC-HTTP:EXAMPLE] Main Process Exception:', exception);
}).then((output) => {
  console.log('[FABRIC-HTTP:EXAMPLE] Main Process Output:', output);
});

Run node scripts/node.js to start the app, or webpack scripts/app.js -o assets/app.min.js to build a browser version.
