synedra/fitfood-demo-fullstack repository overview

This is a proof-of-concept example for tying several APIs together, based on Jeremiah Cohick's fitbit-hapi-demo. It will be adapted to add libraries, and break out the code, but for now it is simply a walk-through of my demo at Full Stack London.

It uses:

• MyFitnessPal (log your food there, and connect to fitbit)
• Fitbit
• Twilio (to send SMS's to remind you to step it up when you're lagging)
• Twitter (as glue for the philips hue)
• IFTTT (more glue)
• Philips Hue (changes color to indicate your overall daily progress.

For the OAuth piece: This is a proof of concept example for using the Fitbit Web API. It demonstrates:

• Obtaining consent from a user to make requests to the Fitbit Web API using OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow
• Subscribing to changes in the user's activity data
• Receiving notifications when the user's activity data is updated

I'm serious. This is not a well structured Node.js application.

This example app uses NeDB, a flat-file database similar to Mongo. It's meant to be easy to demo, not highly scalable.

This example assumes you're using Node.js 4.2.x

⁠To get started

npm install

⁠Fitbit Web API client settings at https://dev.fitbit.com/app⁠

Set your OAuth redirect URI to: /signin

Set your subscriber endpoint URI to: /webhook-receiver

⁠To run on Modulus:

Set the environment variables using the instructions at http://help.modulus.io/customer/portal/articles/1701180-using-environments-variables⁠ FITBIT_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID FITBIT_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET COOKIE_PASSWORD

⁠Get a Twilio account from www.twilio.com⁠, and set the following variables in modulus:

TWILIOSID TWILIOAUTHTOKEN TWILIOPHONENUMBER

⁠Grab a set of twitter credentials for a user who is not you (make one up) and set:

TWITTER_CON_KEY TWITTER_CON_SECRET TWITTER_ACC_TOKEN TWITTER_ACC_SECRET

(PORT and CLOUD_DIR will be automatically added by Modulus)
