This example illustrates the use of Carbon.io to implement a public API for managing contacts. This API also handles user management, and allows for new users to register via the API, and then use the API to manage their contacts separate from other users' contacts.

We encourage you to clone the git repository so you can play around with the code.

% git clone git@github.com:carbon-io/example__contacts-api.git
% cd example__contacts-api
% npm install

To run the service:

% node lib/ContactService

For cmdline help:

% node lib/ContactService -h

This example comes with a simple unit test written in Carbon.io's test framework called TestTube. It is located in the test directory.

% node test/ContactServiceTest

or

% npm test
