This is our source code for the Verification Endpoint API handler and Discord bot running on Autocode, usually synchorized every hour through GitLab CI.

API calls from `verify.rtapp.<tk|io>` domain will be trnsparently redirected to the production release at `rtapp-verify-backend.recaptime.autocode.gg`.

## Development

Requires Node.js 14+ and Autocode CLI if you want to do local development or even deployment to development/production environments on Autocode.

### Setup

1. `npm install`
2. `npm start` to run an local FunctionScript gateway with hot reload included.
3. `curl -i http://localhost:8170/recaptime/rtapp-verify-backend/ping` to check if everything is ready

### Deployment

In order for this to work on your Autocode account, you need to update the value of `name` in `stdlib.json` to point to your namespace instead of pointing at `recaptime`. You also need to build your own `env.json` file before running `lib up dev`.

1. Authenticate with `lib login`.
2. Prepare `env.json` using the template from `env.example.json`. DO NOT COMMIT!
3. Update the value `name` to point to your namespace (e.g. `username/your-app-here`).
4. Deploy with `lib up dev`
