The Andelas Assessment for DevOps Advanced

How to go about it

Set Up

Make sure Python is installed on your virtual Machine

Sarting the application

Then on the working directory of the application Open the Terminal or the Command Prompt(CMD) Then run "python start.py" for python 2 version or run "python3 start.py" for python 3 version

Note

Note that the application is running on port 8000. So you have to open "localhost:8000" on your browser to check its success

Initial Question

User Manager

This repository contains a simple demo API built with NodeJS. The API is used to manage users in a MongoDB database.

Development

This application was developed using ExpressJS. MongoDB was used for persisting data with Mongoose as ORM.

Installation

• Start up your terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows OS).
• Ensure that you've node installed on your PC.
• Clone the repository by entering the command git clone https://github.com/andela-bolajide/UserManager in the terminal.
• Navigate to the project folder using cd UserManager on your terminal (or command prompt)
• After cloning, install the application's dependencies with the command npm install.
• Create a .env file in your root directory as described in .env.sample file. Variables such as DB_URL (which must be a mongoDB URL) and PORT are defined in the .env file and it is essential you create this file before running the application.

PORT=3000
DB_URL='mongodb://john:doe@localhost:27017/databaseName'

• After this, you can then start the server with the command: npm start.

Testing

To ensure that your installation is successful you'll need to run tests. The command: npm test makes this possible. It isn't functional right now, but once it's done you'll be notified via the README.
