simple the project represent asimple api with a simple GET method reteriving info about programming languages from a local database
this project was built for learning pruposes and the base of it this tutorial logrocket Blog use it as a Refrence in case of any mistakes i made in my own project
you will find a sql file to setup your database easily in the main folder of the repositry and other version in json format
The project uses Docker to init the database server but you can use any online database in the web
change the db config if you wish with your db setup info in the config.js
host: env.DB_HOST || 'Host-Name',
user: env.DB_USER || 'User-Name',
password: env.DB_PASSWORD || 'Password',
database: env.DB_NAME || 'DB-Name',
or you simple can try it online and see the results from here
If you wish to try it by your self you can install docker from here
and run this command from the terminal
$ docker compose
make sure you are in your project directory to call the docker-compose.yml which is simply creating your mysqldb and init PHPmyAdmin to manage it
go to localhost:8080 and enter in the username root and the password my-secret-pw
create new database call it for example nodedb and import the Sql file in the project to create your db table, that will create the db for you
after creating the mysqldb it's time to init your node Server
update the config.js with your db info
host: env.DB_HOST || 'localhost',
user: env.DB_USER || 'root',
password: env.DB_PASSWORD || 'my-secret-pw',
database: env.DB_NAME || 'nodedb',
enter the command below
$ npm install
to install node packages in your project, that might take few seconds
and then enter the next command to init the server
$ npm start
and you have your backend server running & you should see the results in console like that
server is listening on port 3000...
Reach the localhost:3000/programming-languages link and see the json results
and you should see the results as it appears in the cover image
