> A minimalistic jamstack-augmented microservice for webmentions etc
**Are you looking for a way to DO something with this?** See https://github.com/wgroeneveld/jam-my-stack !
This is a set of minimalistic [Koa-based](https://koajs.com/) microservices that aid you in your IndieWeb Jamstack coolness 😎 (name-dropping). While [jam-my-stack](https://github.com/wgroeneveld/jam-my-stack) is a set of scripts used to run at checkin-time, this is a dymamic service that handles requests.
Inspect how it's used on https://brainbaking.com/ - usually, a `<link/>` in your `<head/>` suffices:
```
<link rel="webmention" href="https://jam.brainbaking.com/webmention" />
<link rel="pingback" href="https://webmention.io/webmention?forward=https://jam.brainbaking.com/webmention" />
```
If you want to support the older pingback protocol, you can leverage webmenton.io's forward capabilities. Although I developed this primarily because webmention.io is _not_ reliable - you've been warned.
## What's in it?
### 1. Webmentions
#### 1.1 `POST /webmention`
Post a webmention. Includes a _lot_ of cross-checking and validating to guard against possible spam. See the [W3C WebMention spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/#sender-notifies-receiver) - or the source - for details.
Accepted form format:
```
POST /webmention-endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: aaronpk.example
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
source=https://waterpigs.example/post-by-barnaby&
target=https://aaronpk.example/post-by-aaron
```
Will result in a `202 Accepted` - it handles things async. Stores in `.json` files in `data/domain`.
#### 1.2 `GET /webmention/:domain/:token`
Retrieves a JSON array with relevant webmentions stored for that domain. The token should match. See `config.js` to fiddle with it yourself. Environment variables are supported, although I haven't used them yet.
