As an insurance company we've been asked to develop an application that manages some information about our insurance policies and company clients. We want to create a Web API that exposes API services.

• Local Setup
• Installation
• Contributing

To preview the website locally:

1. Install git to manage Git repository.
2. Install npm to run the service.
3. You also need to install nodejs on your local machine.

Clone the git repository

$ git clone https://github.com/FabioAnsaldi/insurance-web-api.git

Go to the repository directory and run the following commands:

$ cd insurance-web-api
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ npm run start

Custom settings (optional)

If you want to set a custom configuration for IP address or service port: Go to config directory, copy the default.json file and edit the custom.json file

{
  "address": "your_local_address_ip",
  "port": "your_local_service_port"
}

You have to run the service with the optional parameter like below:

$ npm run start custom.json

If the your_local_address_ip is 127.0.0.1, you will see something like below:

listening on http://127.0.0.1:80/

Feel free to make changes to the template files or the document files.
