Foto - Serverless Social Photo App

A social photo app using serverless framework and Authing. This is a work in progress (see issues for planned enhancements - help welcome!). It's a great app for learning and trying out Tencent Cloud and it is useful for managing your own photos.

Requires

• Node 8.10.0 (matches Tencent Cloud env)
• yarn (or npm)
• serverless framework yarn global add serverless
• Authing account: https://sign.authing.cn

Deploy

You can deploy from your computer using the serverless CLI.

Deploy Front-end

• cd ./fe && npm install && cd ../
• sls --debug

Deploy API

• cd ./serverless
• sls --debug

Local development

Local mocking of Tecent Cloud is fraught. I've stopped doing it as the upkeep is not worth the value I get. I prefer to deploy straight to cloud after thorough TDD locally.

Front-end dev commands

• npm run dev

API dev commands

• sls --debug

Troubleshooting

Things will go wrong - with TencentC clou pretty much everything can be configured so there are a lot of moving parts. Guiding principles are:

• if something suddenly isnt working it's always user error
• Search for help, there are heaps of discussions at serverless forums and on stack overflow
• If you're stumped the problem is quite possibly not where you think it is. E.g

Contributing

Yes! Do it.

Dev setup:

• use tslint
• editorconfig
• unit tests are awesome
• functional tests are superb
