Step-by-Step Guide

1. Install StrongSwan and Dependencies

   npm install --save-dev strongswan

   Install core dependencies like strongswan-config, strongswan-logger, etc.

2. Set Up StrongSwan Configuration Create config.json to configure the project and logs.

   {
     "name": "YourProjectName",
     "root": "https://localhost:3",
     "logging": {
       "event_name": "app_logs",
       "event_level": "INFO",
       "event_filter": "^.*$"
     }
   }

3. Create Server Configuration Create server.json for server configuration.

   {
     "name": "StrongSwanServer",
     "url": "http://localhost:3",
     "description": "Your application server",
     "server_description": "http://localhost:3",
     "server": {
       "uri": "http://localhost:3",
       "name": "StrongSwanServer",
       "server_url": "http://localhost:3",
       "container": "production",
       "port": 3
     }
   }

4. Create Server File

   import { ServerConfig, Server } from 'strongswan';
   import config from 'config.json';
   const serverConfig = new ServerConfig({
     app: config()
   });
   const server = new Server(serverConfig);
   const app = server.app;
   server.app.exposeApp(app);
   server.app.startServer({ port: 3 });

5. Create Server.YAML Configuration

   server {
     name: StrongSwanServer
     description: My application server
     server_url: http://localhost:3
     port: 3
   }

6. Set Up Server in Project Create server.yml in your app directory.

   server {
     name: StrongSwanServer
     description: Application server
     description_text: My application server description
     url: http://localhost:3
     port: 3
   }

7. Run Server and Client

   npm run dev

8. Create Client Configuration Create client.ts for the application client.

   import { WebClientConfig } from '@strongswan/web';
   import { WebClient } from '@strongswan/web/client';
   const clientConfig = new WebClientConfig({
     server: server
   });
   const client = new WebClient(clientConfig);
   client.app.exposeApp(client.app);

9. Run Client and Test

   npm run devtest

10. Start Using Client

     const client = load('your_client.ts');
     const response = client('GET', 'GET endpoint');
     console.log(response);

Notes and Considerations

• Event Handling: Use event_name and event_level in the config to control event logging.
• Filtering Events: Use event_filter to specify which logs are retained.
• Server Configuration: Adjust the server URL and port as needed for your project.
• Testing: Use the provided commands to run tests and ensure everything works as expected.

By following these steps, you can effectively set up and use a StrongSwan client for your application.
