Introductory NodeJS exercises

0. Setup and Helpful links

  1. Fork the repository and clone your forked version locally.
  2. Go to the directory of the project: cd webui-workshop/0-Introductory-Exercises
  3. Install the project dependencies via: npm ci. More dependencies will be installed during the exercises

1. Deploy a WebUI HTTP Server

By making use of @aliceo2/webui library, use the provided HTTP server to deploy a:

  • static Hello World HTML page.
  • API GET route with a Hello World! message.

2. Add a JWT configuration

All ALICE user interfaces are restricted based on JsonWebTokens (JWT). Look through the implementation of the earlier used server, and add a token configuration that is to expire after 30s.

Demonstrate that the configuration set works by proving the token is not valid anymore on the API endpoint.

3. Add a WebSocket server

To your index file, add a WebSocket server which handles a command hello.

Once the server receives a message on hello, it should:

  • print to the console the message received
  • reply to the client with a hello-back command.

The client, in turn should print the hello-back response.

Hint: Similar to HTTP server, the WebSocket server will expect a token.

4. Use the Logger library

Replace your console.log by the logger library provided by the @aliceo2/webui
