56aint / book-library-api

This project is a boilerplate for creating an express app which uses sequelize to interact with MYSQL database.

Getting Started

Create a new directory on your computer mkdir 'your folder name'

fork the repo
git clone [email protected]:56aint/book-library-api.git your-project-folder-name
cd your-project-folder-name
npm install

NEXT >>> Set up your database

It is assumed that you have MYSQL running in a docker; Install docker with: sudo apt install docker.io Check if docker is installed docker --version

You can set up a MYSQL image in a docker by running the following commands in your terminal:

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 --name book-library-api-db -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<YOUR_PASSWORD> mysql
**keep the password safe**

Now that you have a container for your book-library, wake it up! run:

docker start book-library-api-db

***anytime you shutdown your computer, you have to wake the container up again when your computer is turned on, and to stop your docker container at anytime, run:

docker stop book-library-api-db
