Dredd - "I am the Law!"

A RESTful API to fetch data from the French "Assemblée Nationale".

Features

  • List bills.
  • Get the text for a specific bill.
  • Pretty bill texts available in Markdown and HTML.

Install

  • Install VirtualBox 4.3+.
  • Install Vagrant 1.8.1+.
  • git clone https://github.com/promethe42/dredd.git && cd dredd
  • vagrant up local (run as admin on Windows)
  • Add 192.168.50.43 dredd.fr.test to your hosts file.
  • Go to http://dredd.fr.test to test the platform.

Upgrade

In the project root directory:

  • Shutdown the VM: vagrant halt local.
  • Update the code: git pull.
  • Restart the VM and provision it: vagrant up --provision.

Building and running

All the following procedures are to be executed on the dev environment VM using SSH. To connect to the VM using SSH, use the vagrant ssh local command in the install directory.

The Web API should build and run when the install is done but also whenever you start the machine. You can also manually control the process as a service:

service dredd-api-web stop (or start or restart)

To debug the API, you can run it directly in your terminal and have the (error) logs:

cd /vagrant/api && npm start
