This project is currently being refactored, performance and API will be unstable.

open-api is a graphQL API that will serve multiple purposes:

• serve the frontend of freeCodeCamp
• an implementation of the freeCodeCamp's open-data policy
• allow developers to build applications around the freeCodeCamp's eco-system and its open data sets

We welcome pull requests 🎉! Please follow these steps to contribute.

Tokens are verified using public keys, each tennant will have their own certificate containing the public key.

Certificates are stored either on developer laptops in .env files, or in an environment variable JWT_CERT for depoloyments. We use Travis for deployments, and scripts/deploy.sh will pick either JWT_CERT_STAGE or JWT_CERT_PROD and export it as JWT_CERT. This will be picked up and deployed by Serverless.

Certificates are base64 encoded to prevent encoding issues. This works around the fact that Travis uses Bash to export environment variables, which causes issues with newlines and other characters have a special meaning in shells.

To add a new certificate, download it as a .pem file, and base64 encode it. Use yarn encode-file if you want a convenient script:

▶ yarn encode-file ~/Downloads/freecodecamp-dev.pem
yarn run v1.6.0
$ node scripts/base64encode.js /Users/ojongerius/Downloads/freecodecamp-dev.pem

And copy the base64 encoded string to your destination.

Deployment is normally done by CI.

If you want to do a manual deployment:

Configure your AWS credentials, see https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/credentials

Ensure that you have the serverless package install globally

yarn global add serverless

Assert that the stages configured in serverless.yml in line with what you'd like to deploy to, and run:

serverless --stage=YOUR_STAGE_HERE deploy
