Architecture

Setting up the configuration

This project uses nconf to handle configuration files in a hierarchical way. It will merge the configs between your ${environment}.yaml and default.yaml, giving a higher priority to whatever is added in the ${environment}.yaml file.

It is recommended to create a local.yaml inside the config folder. This file is ignored and won't be commited to Github.

• You will need to obtain your AWS CLIENT ID and AWS SECRET ID and add them in the config/local.yaml

  • You don't need to add them if you have them configured in your CLI

• You will need to create a queue in AWS SQS. Here is explained how. Get the URL and add it to the config/local.yaml

• You will need to create an account in Mailtrap to use an Email Sandbox for tests. In there, you should get all the SMTP Settings as described below and add them in the config/local.yaml

How to run it?

If you created a config/local.yaml file, then run:

npm run local

If you didn't, then run:

npm run dev

The API will be exposed in the PORT 3000
