Getting started

Copy the .env.dist file to .env and run:

$ npm install
$ npm run dev

✨Zola API running on port 3001. ✨

You can use a custom port using the PORT environment variable.

Docker environment

Zola-api comes with a docker environment. The environment is described in the docker-compose.yml file and reads environment variables from .env.

When using the docker environment, you can link to containers using their name on the docker network. Data directories are mounted as volumes to container in order to persist data if a container is stopped.

To bring up the docker environment, set your environment variables and run :

$ docker-compose up -d

Then you can connect to the node container and run the above commands to run zola-api dev scripts :

$ docker exec -it zola-api bash

Note that using the docker environment is not required and any postgres host can be specified in the environment variables

Authentication

Zola's API supports token based authentication. Some of the queries and mutations available in the schema require a proper token to be sent in order to work.

A header Authentication: Bearer ${token} is expected when running those operations, and an error will be returned if that token is missing.

CDN

Zola's API comes with a CDN used to distribute translations assets. This CDN is technically public, but a token is generated for each project and is required in the CDN endpoint URL.

The CDN endpoints are :

GET /cdn/:cdnToken/download #exports all keys for all locales in project formatted in JSON and forces download
GET /cdn/:cdnToken/:localeCode #exports all keys for a single locale formatted in JSON
GET /cdn/:cdnToken/locales #lists all locales available for project formatted in JSON
