First steps
Installing node
Get the latest version of node from the official website or using nvm Nvm approach is preferred.
Getting dependencies
Run npm install
or yarn
from rootpath of the project.
Starting your app
Now, to start your app run npm start
in the rootpath of the project. Then access your app at localhost:port. The port is logged in the console where you ran the start script.
Development
Environments
By default, the environment will be development, but you can easily change it using the NODE_ENV environmental variable.
Environment variables
Dotenv
is used for managing environment variables. They are stored in the /.env
file. Take into account that the variables defined in the bashrc
are not overrided.
The environment variables should be added to the .env
file in the form of NAME=VALUE
, as the following example:
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASS=superpass
DB_PASSWORD=superpass
PORT=8081
CLIENTS_API=http://api.clients.example.org/
Remember not to push nor commit the .env
file.
Logging
To log useful information of your program to the console you just need to import the logger located at app/logger
. There are two possible types of logging: info
and error
. You should use them depending on the type of message you want to show.
Here is an example snippet:
const logger = require('/app/logger');
...
if (error) {
logger.error('There is an error);
} else {
logger.info('There is no error);
}
Testing
To run your tests you first need to config your testing database by setting the env var DB_NAME_TEST
. as explained
before in Database configuration. Also you need to run the migrations in this exclusive
testing database each time you have new ones, you can do this by running the command npm run migrations-test
.
Once you have all the above done you can run your tests with the following command: npm test
. For more information refeer to the documentation of Jest.
Debugging
As we know, a NodeJS application is not something easy to debug and because of that we've added the --inspect
flag to make it simpler. Chrome DevTools will get started when running your app using the start script (npm start
), making your debugging easier.
REPL console
We can use a node console with npm run console
. There your service objects are exposed as servicename + "Service". Let's suppose that we have a service users
which has a function getAll
. In your console you can call usersService.getAll()
and see the result. Note that this works also with functions that return promises! To exit the console use .exit
.
Documentation
Documentation will be served at /docs
. We use OpenAPI A.K.A Swagger
. Check this link for more details on how to use it.
Deploy
Heroku
Pushing the desired branch to heroku should be enough. For more information check: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#define-a-procfile.
