Bitcamp Alumni Portal

Basic auth pages that query an AWS lambda function, and redirect if matched.

Lambda Setep

1. Create a new AWS lambda function. We named ours alumRedir. Use Python 3.8 as the enviroment.
2. Paste the code from this repo's lambda_function.py into the editor on AWS.
3. Create enviroment variables index, join, and password and set them to their respective values.
4. Add a new trigger, and select API Gateway. Then, create an api and select HTTP api. It should have open security.
5. Edit the new API gatway. Specifically, go to CORS settings. Edit to match what's given below. Maybe it's not necessary to expose all of that, but it works for us.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *
Access-Control-Expose-Headers *

6. Update the url in request.js to point to your API gateway.

You should be done!

Frontend setup

1. Replace the url in .gitmodules with whatever other repo contains your branding/styles (or remove alltogether).
2. Update style.css to reflect new colors/layout.
3. Replace meta information and images in index.html and join.html.
4. Update Origin header and fetch url in request.js.
5. Deploy! We use Github pages and route it to a subdomain of ours.
