Storefront Backend Project

Getting Started

This repo contains the modified start code for the storefront backend project. It consists of a basic Node and Express app, that I used to build up an API service for a real-life scenario.

To get started clone the project and execute npm i in your CLI to install all dependencies necessary to run the project. Now you can start to setup a database by following these steps: startup a PSQL terminal

• Create a user by typing the command CREATE USER storefront_admin WITH PASSWORD storefront_password
• Create a live database and one for testing with CREATE DATABASE storefront_backend; and CREATE DATABASE storefront_backend_test;
• Grant all privileges to the user in both databases with GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE storefront_backend; and GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE storefront_backend_test;

Since the project is using the dotenv library, a .env file is needed. Below is an example of a working dotenv file based on the database name and user mentioned above. The port on localhost is set to 5678.

POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
POSTGRES_PORT=5678
POSTGRES_DB=storefront_backend
POSTGRES_DB_TEST=storefront_backend_test
POSTGRES_USER=storefront_admin
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=storefront_password
BCRYPT_PASSWORD=very_spicy_password
SALT_ROUNDS=10
TOKEN_SECRET=top-secret
