Installation

Prerequisites

• Fork this repo and clone it on your system.
• NVM (optional if you're not using docker) I'm using this for managing node versions.
  • on the root folder run nvm use
• Docker (optional) if you want to run this with docker. I'm using this with docker-compose.
• MySql please refer to specific OS installation and install version mysql:8.0.18. Also dont forget to create a user
  • RUN "ALTER USER 'your user name' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your password';"
  • RUN "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
• On the root folder you will see a file named the_env_file.txt change this file name to .env. After changing all you need to do is change some of the values from the files
  • MYSQL_PASSWORD=your password
  • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=same as mysql_password
  • MYSQL_DATABASE=development_db
  • TYPEORM_USERNAME= your mysql username
  • TYPEORM_PASSWORD= your mysql password

Without Docker

1. On the root folder change the file name the_env_file.txt to .env file uncomment host:"localhost" then comment host: 'db'. This error is explained in the docs.
2. run npm install.
3. Run the app using npm run dev.
4. Then run the migration npm run typeorm migration:run

Note: Make sure you have mysql running. In macOS using brew brew services start mysql. For now I don't know how to run it mysql on other OS. You don't have to run it on the background process though, as long as your mysql is running. Also if you're using DBMS, use your mysql credentials

---

With Docker

1. Inside the root folder run command docker-compose up. To kill docker run docker-compose down. My advice don't run it on detached mode so you can see the query logs
2. Then uncomment TYPEORM_HOST=db and comment TYPEORM_HOST=localhost.
3. If the server is accepting connections then you can run npm run typeorm migration:run

Note: If you're using DBMS use the host host:0.0.0.0 then your credentials.

After a successful installation of the app

1. Test the api using Postman, Insomnia or Postwoman
2. After the download goto http://localhost:8000/api/v1/signup
3. Then create a user.

{
	"username":"nocap",
	"email":"nocap@gmail.com",
	"password":"password"
}
