Note: This package is not ready for a production App yet.

This project provides a simple client library to interact with the Cloud Foundry Architecture:

Using this library, you could interact the following components on PWS , Bluemix or a Local Cloud Foundry instance:

Cloud Controller	UAA	Logging & Metrics
Apps	Users	Logs
Buildpacks
Domains
Jobs
Organizations
Organizations Quotas
Routes
Services
Service Bindings
Service Instances
Service Plans
Spaces
Spaces Quotas
Stacks
User provided Services
Users

Applications

Node.js with Express are a great combination to develop Web applications. If you observe the Sinatra market, you will notice that Node.js has a huge Traction.

The development doesn't cover the whole CC API. Main areas of development are:

App life cycle:

• Create an App
• Upload source code in .zip or .war (Support for Static, Python, PHP, Node.js & JEE)
• Create an User Provided Services
• Associate Apps with an User Provided Services
• Start | Stop an App
• Restage Apps
• Scale Apps
• Simple Logs management
• Remove Apps
• Remove User Provided Services

PaaS Management:

• Organization quota
• Organization
• Space
• Services, Service Instances, Service Plans, User provided Services & Service Binding
• UAA Users
• Users

Getting Started

If you need to interact with a Cloud Foundry platform try this online tool and use this example:

var endpoint = "https://api.run.pivotal.io";
var username = "PWS_USERNAME";
var password = "PWS_PASSWORD";
var authorization_endpoint = null;
var token_type = null;
var access_token = null;
var refresh_token = null;
var CloudFoundry = require("cf-nodejs-client").CloudFoundry;
var CloudFoundryUsersUAA = require("cf-nodejs-client").UsersUAA;
CloudFoundry = new CloudFoundry();
CloudFoundryUsersUAA = new CloudFoundryUsersUAA();
CloudFoundry.setEndPoint(endpoint);

function sleep(time, callback) {
    var stop = new Date().getTime();
    while (new Date().getTime() < stop + time) {
        ;
    }
    callback();
}
 
CloudFoundry.getInfo().then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
    authorization_endpoint = result.authorization_endpoint;
    token_endpoint = result.token_endpoint;
    CloudFoundryUsersUAA.setEndPoint(authorization_endpoint);
    return CloudFoundryUsersUAA.login(username, password);
}).then(function (result) {
	refresh_token = result.refresh_token;
    sleep(5000, function () {
        console.log("5 second");
    });	
    return CloudFoundryUsersUAA.refreshToken(refresh_token_test);
}).then(function (result) {
    token_type = result.token_type;
    access_token = result.access_token;
    return CloudFoundryApps.getApps(token_type, access_token);
}).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result);
}).catch(function (reason) {
    console.error("Error: " + reason);
});

Explore the library and if you like the features, use it on your App:

Testing

This project has a test suite to ensure the reability of this project. Take a look the Tests cases developed with Mocha & Chai to understand some stuff about Cloud Foundry and the usage of this client. Besides, the project has invested some amount of time in testing phase to be the code with a nice coverage level.

The development has been tested with:

Local Instance	PWS	Bluemix
2.25.0	2.44.0	2.40.0

Last test: 2015/12/22

Test suite:

npm test

Code coverage:

istanbul cover node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha -- -R spec

Continous integration:
