TTP CRUD Project - Express Server

Quick Start

To start up dev server with nodemon:

# Run the appropriate command based on your system:
# On Mac/Linux:
npm run dev
# On Windows:
npm run dev_windows

Please make sure to create a .env file and save the LOCAL_DATABASE_PASSWORD variable if you are working locally.

LOCAL_DATABASE_PASSWORD=somePassword123

If you have no password, please pass an empty string in single-quotes like so:

LOCAL_DATABASE_PASSWORD=''

Getting Started

You can either:

Clone repo

Clone the repo and set up with your own GitHub account

Express Generator

You can use this Express Generator command, indicating the directory to build your project in instead of my-app:

npx express-generator --no-view --git my-app

It will not set a template engine (no need since you're creating an API). It will also create a .gitignore file for you.

Move into the directory and install dependencies

cd my-app
npm install

This is a good point to initialize a git repository and make your initial commit.

Install these dependencies via npm install

npm i compression dotenv helmet pgtools sequelize

Nodemon

I recommend installing nodemon

npm i --save-dev nodemon

Add the following to the list of scripts in package.json:

"dev": "npx nodemon ./bin/www"

Nodemon will automatically reload the server when file changes are detected.

npm run dev
