This is a simple RESTful API with vanilla NodeJS.

NODE_ENV=staging node index.js

curl --location 'localhost:3000/sample' --data 'This is the body'

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

Example prompt for localhost:

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:UK
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:England
Locality Name (eg, city) []:London
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Manu
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Kem
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:localhost
Email Address []:manukem@gmail.com

curl -k 'https://localhost:3001/sample' --data 'This is the body'

Note: -k is to ignore the self-signed certificate warning. Otherwise, it will throw an error message that indicates that curl is unable to verify the legitimacy of the server because you are using a self-signed certificate. This is expected behavior for self-signed certificates, as they are not signed by a trusted certificate authority.

You can use the Twilio API to send SMS messages. You will need to create an account and get your own credentials. Then, you can use the following command to test the API:

// index.js
const { sendTwilioSms } = require('./lib/helpers');

// Test external API - Use the Twilio phone
sendTwilioSms('***', 'Hello!', (err) => console.log(err));

NODE_ENV=staging NODE_DEBUG=workers,server nodemon .

NOTE: You can add some default NodeJS debugging events to the NODE_DEBUG environment variable. For example, NODE_DEBUG=http,https will enable the http, and https debugging events.
