If someone is interested in updating this to work with the new API schema, feel free to send a merge request, I'll be happy to review it and likely merge it, but I do not plan to work on this further myself.

The Berzan.js API Proxy

What's this?

Once upon a time, Berzan.js could get away with only being a frontend for the then called Novasoftware schedule API. As Berzeliusskolan (Berzan) eventually switched over to Skola24, the schedule provider's new API, this was no longer the case due to how CORS works.

This is an API that proxies requests in order to bypass the CORS restrictions so that Berzan.js can utilise the new API.

How to use

Despite this being built for Berzan.js, anyone can use this for their own Skola24 frontends! Information about how is coming soonTM.

Setting up and running yourself

System software requirements

Running the Berzan.js API Proxy yourself requires Node.js and npm. The code was originally written for Node.js 12, the current LTS version at the time of writing, but will most likely work well on later versions too.

Setting up

Start by running npm install to fetch all dependencies. The code only requires an implementation of fetch(). I choose node-fetch, but it could most likely be switched out for something else.

After that, you're done!

Running the server

Running the server is done via the npm start command. If you want it to run on a different port than 8080, set the PORT environment variable, like so: PORT=8084 npm start
