WIP: #16 authentication in api

bregySilvan commented 6 years ago

Description

Add /login location for authentication. Currently we send back true or false. Later this will be an access token.
Technical details
location /login
payload: { name: string, password: string}
response: { success: boolean}
Used port can be changed in config.ts

Start application

Let's use ts-node instead of tsc command. It compiles and executes .ts files directly.

make sure you have installed ts-node => npm install ts-node -g
to run server move into app/server and run npm start
to run client move into app/client and run npm start
do not forget to run npm install before first run, in both, server and client directory

Note

In general we should avoid hardcoding stuff directly in classes. Pls put all variable data into config.ts file. Locations should also be added there.

Nice working example of client-server communication. Decent info in the PR as well.

Will superagent be used within the angular app as well?

I seperated server and client to different apps because it doesn't make sense to open up a new issue for that. In addition to that ts-node command got added for executing the application.

@Christian-Seematter
I looked up some tools for making requests and superagent seemed to be the smartest and most flexible one to use.

@bregySilvan The client is now ready for the integration of the authentication. Cherio

@olinator98 Go ahead and create the PR for your client which is finished. We can merge your changes on the client first and afterward I can commit my login integration directly into #18.
