Storefront Backend Project

Getting started

Before you start you need to create a .env file that contains the required environment variables:

POSTGRES_HOST={your host}
POSTGRES_DB={your dev database name}
POSTGRES_TEST_DB={your test database name}
POSTGRES_USER={your databse user}
POSTGRES_PASSWORD={your database password}
ENV=dev
PEPPER={bcrypt password}
SALT_ROUNDS={salt rounds, default is 10}
TOKEN_SECRET={jwt token secret}

You also need to setup a Postgres Database on port 5432 before running the server. You could also setup the databse using the provided docker-compose.yml file.

To run the server locally (Default port is 3000):

• Clone this repo
• yarn to install all required dependencies
• yarn migrate to create the required database tables
• yarn start or yarn watch to start the local server

Other scripts:

• yarn migrate to run database migrations
• yarn test to run tests

Used Technologies

• Postgres for the database
• Node/Express for the application logic
• dotenv from npm for managing environment variables
• db-migrate from npm for migrations
• jsonwebtoken from npm for working with JWTs
• jasmine from npm for testing
