Requirements

• Node.js 14+
• MongoDB 4.4+
• Redis 5.0+

Setting up environments (development or production)

1. In the root this repository you will find a file named .env.example
2. Create a new file by copying and pasting the file and then renaming it to just .env
3. The file .env is already ignored, so you never commit your credentials.
4. Change the values of the file to your environment (development or production)
5. Upload the .env to your environment server(development or production)
6. If you use the postman collection to try the endpoints, change value of the variable server on your environment to the url of your server, for development mode use http://localhost:3000 IMPORTANT: By default token expires in 3 days (4320 minutes set in .env.example). You can refresh token at endpoint GET /token. If everything it´s ok you will get a new token.

i18n

Language is automatically detected from Accept-Language header on the request. So either you send locale manually on the request or your browser will send its default, if Accept-Language header is not sent then it will use en locale as default.

How to run

Database cleaning and seeding samples

There are 3 available commands for this: fresh, clean and seed.

npm run command

• fresh cleans and then seeds the database with dynamic data.
• clean cleans the database.
• seed seeds the database with dynamic data.

Running in development mode (lifting API server)

npm run start

You will know server is running by checking the output of the command npm run dev

****************************
*    Starting Server
*    Port: 3000
*    NODE_ENV: development
*    Database: MongoDB
*    DB Connection: OK
****************************

Running tests

It´s a good practice to do tests at your code, so a sample of how to do that in mocha/chai is also included in the /test directory

npm run test

Formatting code

Format your code with prettier by typing:

npm run format

Formatting markdown files

Format all your markdown files with remark by typing:

npm run remark

Linting code

Lint your code with ESLint by typing:

npm run lint

Usage

Once everything is set up to test API routes either use Postman or any other api testing application. Default username/password combination for login is [email protected]/12345.

Postman API example collection

You can import the example collection to Postman. To import, click the import button located and select postman-example.json located within the root directory. Go to manage environments to create environments for development, production, etc. On each of the environments you create you will need to:

1. Create a new key authToken and within the /login request this value is automatically updated after a successfull login through a script located in the tests tab. Each time you make a request to the API it will send Authorization header with the token value in the request, you can check this on the headers of users or cities endpoints in the Postman example.
2. Create a second key server with the url of your server, for development mode use http://localhost:3000 This is a REST API, so it works using the following HTTP methods:

• GET (Read): Gets a list of items, or a single item
• POST (Create): Creates an item
• PATCH (Update): Updates an item
• DELETE: Deletes an item

Creating new Module (not Model)

Create the a folder with module name under api folder

Now create all module related files under the newly created module folder. --src | --api | --Module Name |-- {module}.model.ts (data model file) |-- {module}.interface.ts (data model interface) |-- {module}.services.ts (CRUD data services, like getUser, updateuser) |-- {module}.utils.ts (Utility file, create if any utility required) |-- {module}.validator.ts (route middleware validator) |-- {module}.controller.ts (Controller functions) |-- {module}.route.ts (routes for the Module)

Creating new sql data Model

• Add {{module}}.sql.model.ts file in src/api/

• Run following command to create db migration. npm run migration:create --name create-column-abc

• Make sure you add create statement in up and drop statement in down script of migration file.

• Run the db migration command after this, always mention the env as development shown below. npm run migration:run

Updating sql data Model

• Run following command to create db migration for update table. npm run migration:create --name 'update-{{module}}-{{add/remove/update}}-{{fieldname or the action}}'
• Make sure you add addColumn/removeColumn/renameColumn statement in up and drop statement in down script of migration file.
• Run the db migration command after this, always mention the env as development shown below. npm run migration:run

To run the docker image in local, install below depedency

docker docker-compose

cmd to start all the containers at the same time (detached mode)

docker-compose up -d

cmd to start all the containers individually

docker-compose build docker-compose up -d mongo docker-compose up -d mysql docker-compose up -d node

check the running containers

docker ps

to stop the containers

docker-compose down

Sample commit messages

standard format

git commit -m "{{type}}: {{commit message}}"
type can be [build, chore, ci, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, revert, style, test]

for example:
git commit -m "fix: commit message"
git commit -m "improvement: commit message"
