Introduction

This is a very basic nodejs server for the purpose of giving a demo of my coding ability. For a production application, I would add more testcases and return better error values.

The time taken to complete this project was about 8 hours. It is the first time I am building something from scratch with babel and async/await.

Setup

Install software

The project has following dependencies :-

  • node version 4 or above
  • postgres versipn 9 or above
  • npm version 3 or above
  • babel-cli, etc

Setup database

./database/setup-db.sh

You can also configure the server to use a remote postgres database using environment variable DB_URL. Ex,

export DB_URL=postgres://user:password@/host/database

Run testcases

  • npm run test-db
  • npm run test-domain
  • npm run test-api

Run the server

npm run start

Curl testing

Get details of user with id 1

curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/users?id=1

Get top active user details

curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/topActiveUsers?page=0
