How to run
npm get all the packages for you except iris.node that must be copy manually. Copy the iris.node file to /node_module/iris directory (create if not exists). You can get iris.node from WRC or also from the /bin directory of the InterSystems IRIS installed instance. Check out if it is the right version for your node installation.
In my case I used node version v8.6.0 so I needed iris800.node. Remenber to rename the file to iris.node. After that you can do:
$npm install
$npm start
How to test
You can che conectivity with IRIS with
$node ./tests/test.js
If everything before works, then you can start sending HTTP commands:
Create new object
$curl -d '{"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/test
Update existing object
$curl -d '{"key1":"abc", "key2":"abc"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/test/1
Retrieve all objects
$curl http://localhost:8000/api/test
Retrieve existing object
$curl http://localhost:8000/api/test/1
Delete existing object
$curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8000/api/test/1
