Code examples

It would be great to have some code examples for creating an actor, creating an activity, following an actor, and other common actions. Based on the info in the readme, I'm not sure how to use this library after starting up the server.

is there any app using this lib? maybe can take a look, ill guide myself with the tests..

Found it: https://github.com/immers-space/guppe/blob/main/index.js :rocket:

Just added links to two apps using this library: https://github.com/immers-space/activitypub-express#next-steps-and-examples

@wmurphyrd Thank you for the example apps. Is there a "basic" demonstration of use somewhere? For instance, by tracing through the code I've figured out (I think) that this is how one would follow a user:

...
await app.listen(80, () => {
    console.log(`Listening on domain.com:80`)
    apex.offlineMode = false
    apex.startDelivery();
})
...
const myUser = await apex.store.getObject(`https://domain.com/u/me`, true);
await apex.store.saveObject(myUser);
const toBeFollowedUserId = `https://domain.com/u/you`;
const toBeFollowedUser = await apex.store.getObject(id);
const followActivity = await apex.buildActivity('Follow', myUser.id, toBeFollowedUserId, { object: toBeFollowedUser });
apex.addToOutbox(myUser, followActivity);

However the Mongo record doesn't have a value entry, so it never actually delivers anything, and I'm stuck. This is likely me doing something wrong since there's no basic code example to follow.

It would be really helpful to have a super-simplistic:

• Create actor 1
• Create group/collection
• Create actor 2
• Follow actor 1 with actor 2
• Follow group/collection with actor 2
• Actor 1 post to group
• Actor 2 receive post

Note: My issues seem to revolve around this library doesn't work out of the box. All the mongo calls use things like result.value and result.ok, which do not exist in the installed libraries. In them, result is the JSON object returned, and it is null otherwise.
