// server.js

// BASE SETUP
// =============================================================================

// call the packages we need
var express    = require('express');        // call express
var app        = express();                 // define our app using express
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var cors       = require('cors');

var rest = require('./REST');

// configure app to use bodyParser()
// this will let us get the data from a POST
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;        // set our port

// CONFIGURE CORS
app.use(cors());

// ROUTES FOR OUR API
// =============================================================================
var router = express.Router();              // get an instance of the express Router

// test route to make sure everything is working (accessed at GET http://localhost:8080/api)
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.json({ message: 'hooray! welcome to our api!' });
});

// more routes for our API will happen here
router.route('/events')
    .get(function(req, res) {
        rest.get('www.eventbriteapi.com','/v3/users/me/owned_events/',process.env.EVENTBRITE_KEY,{status:'live',order_by:'start_asc'},function(data) {
            res.json(data);
        });
    });

// REGISTER OUR ROUTES -------------------------------
// all of our routes will be prefixed with /api
app.use('/api', router);

// START THE SERVER
// =============================================================================
app.listen(port);
console.log('Magic happens on port ' + port);
