Simple and stupid REST service to fetch logs from the machine the service runs on

The service worked on my machine™ with Node v20.11. I don't see any reson for it not to run in any recent-ish version of Node

Run npm install to have dependencies installed

Run npm start in the console.

There are a few tests for the file reader part, you can run them with npm test

Service has 2 simple endpoints

• GET /files - returns a list of files available in the logs directory (/var/log/ by default)
• GET /logs/{fileName} - reads lines from the specified log file. Lines will be returned in the new-to-old order

More detailed API documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000/api-docs/ when service runs

Swagger UI is also a good way to test the service, hit "Try it out" button and make requests with parameters you want

If you feel inclined to change the code. This repo uses StandardJS style.
