#strong-gateway-demo

This demo contains a two-part tutorial and an example app for the StrongLoop API Gateway (API Gateway).

##Overview

###Tutorial

The purpose of this two-part tutorial is to show you how to implement the API gateway as an OAuth 2.0 solution into an existing infrastructure.

####Part 1 - notes-app-plain

notes-app-plain is a simple web app that renders a list of notes:

Notes
--------------
- Buy eggs
- Buy milk
- Buy sausages

The notes in this app are not stored on the web server, but are retrieved from a separate server (API server) instead:

(Web Server)     (API Server)
 +--------+      +----------+
 | Client |----->| Resource |
 |        |<-----| Server   |
 +--------+      +----------+

In OAuth 2.0 terminology, the web server is a "client" and the API server is a "resource server". We will be building the client and resource server apps in preparation for part 2 of the tutorial.

####Part 2 - notes-app-gateway

notes-app-gateway is a seven-step tutorial that demonstrates various features of the StrongLoop API Gateway. In each step, we incrementally improve on the app from part 1 and cover a variety of topics as we work through the transformation of notes-app-plain to notes-app-gateway. Upon completion, the client will retrieve notes through the API gateway instead of interacting directly with the API server:

(Web Server)       (API Gateway)        (API Server)
 +--------+      +---------------+      +----------+
 | Client |----->| Authorization |----->| Resource |
 |        |<-----| Server        |<-----| Server   |
 +--------+      +---------------+      +----------+

###Example - oauth-playground

This is a web app used to demonstrate various OAuth 2.0 Authorization Grant flows:

We also include sample scripts for GUI-less workflows:

Setup

Install StrongLoop

npm install -g strongloop
