🗒️ Hapi v17 Node.js server for the task app

Task app with Hapi and MongoDB

This repo is for getting started building a tech stack with core tools like Node.js, Hapi v17 and MongoDB with Mongoose ORM

Full tutorial that accompanies this code is available on Medium.

Seed some tasks

$ node src/utils/seed.js

Start server

$ npm run start

Roadmap

• Add relationships with mongoose-autopopulate
• Add jsonwebtoken authentication

Tutorial notes

If you run into dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found error, then running npm rebuild bcrypt --build-from-source will fix it.

• We're using Mailgun because Mandrill is too expensive for what we need right now. No sense paying more than we have to for the same thing!

• You'll need to add a domain to your mailgun account.

• If so inclined you can generate a super secure secret key using: node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(256).toString('base64'));"

task-app-backend's Issues

Failed to run successfully

Hi Connor,
Thank you so much for this demo. It looks very useful for a newbie like me, but I failed to run it on my machine and need some advice to fix it. Here's what I did.

1. git clone
2. npm install
3. source .env.example (no idea if this is necessary)
4. node src/utils/seed.js

Stuck on step 3 which showed the error messages as follows:

****/task-app-backend/node_modules/mailgun-js/lib/mailgun.js:16
      throw new Error('apiKey value must be defined!')
      ^

Error: apiKey value must be defined!
