Example

In a server.js file:

const express = require('express');
const silo = require('global-silo');
const getBucket = require('./get_s3_bucket');

const app = express();

/* This will supply a single location for variables used server-wide. 
The get_s3_bucket.js file could contain a function that retrieves a file
from an AWS S3 Bucket, which requires the bucket name and a file name variables.
Alternatively, you could pass the variable through as a parameter.
*/
silo.init([
  [ 'bucketName', 'identity-level-of-education-dev-bucket-s3' ],
  [ 'storageFile', 'levels_of_education.json' ],
  [ 'logFile', 'level_of_education_logs.json' ]
]);

app.get('/log-info', (req, res) => res.status(200).send(getBucket(logs.json);

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 8081, function () {
  console.log("Server running on port", port);
});
