• postgres

Inspired by https://github.com/bashleigh/nestjs-blog

Use

• Start the postgres container using docker

• Start the nestjs process using to following

$ yarn start

Production

If you're going to use this example in production (or your own verison of it) it's recommended to run using the 'complied' JS version from dist. You can do this by using the following command

$ yarn start:prod

This command will also clean and build your dist folder

Development

For development, the best command to use is

$ yarn dev

This will start nodemon to reload our script when there's been any changes in the src directory

Testing

Unit testing

Unit tests can be ran by simply using the test script

$ yarn test

This will run jest on all .spec.ts files.

End to End testing (E2E)

End to end tests can be run by using the following command

$ yarn test:e2e

this will run jest on all .e2e-spec.ts files.

Coverage

Use jest to show you a coverage of your tests

$ yarn test:cov
