The historian service tracks the historical record for a document. It serves as a proxy to the underlying git repository that maintains the versioned snapshots.

For consistency we recommend building and developing within a container

You can build the production container by running.

docker build -t historian .

And then mount it for development by running.

docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/home/node/server" -p 3000:3000 node:8.15.0-slim /bin/bash

When mounted for development you'll want to run the following commands. These also work if you would like to develop outside of the container.

npm install -g pnpm pnpm i npm run build

A compose file is also provided which provides a Redis server and a Git REST server. By default it will mount your local files into the container so you will need to npm install, npm run build prior.

docker run -t historian npm test
