Bonsai Writer News Service

News about development on Bonsai Writer provided via a simple REST API. Actually there's only one single GET endpoint (/news) that provides all available news.

I developed it as an exercise for myself, as a kind of “coding kata”.

The deployed API is used by my Bonsai Writer Website Rebuild.

Getting started

Run server:

deno task start

Run tests:

deno test -N

Deploying

For deploying to Deno Deploy you need to setup an account first.

From your local machine

If you want to deploy from your local machine you can simply call deployctl deploy. This will open a website in your browser for authorization. To streamline deployment you can also set the required token as an environment variable on your machine.

GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD

Ensure that you have the necessary permissions and configurations set up in GitHub or GitLab. This includes providing the access token from Deno Deploy as a variable with key DENO_DEPLOY_TOKEN.

Pushes to any branch trigger the pipeline to lint, test and deploy. Pushes to the the main branch are deployed to production.
