First install a new Node.js (8.x) if you don't have it already.
git clone [email protected]:calmm-js/karet-express-boilerplate.git
cd karet-express-boilerplate
npm install
npm run watch
Then:
open https://localhost:3000
If you are working on Windows, then you should know that the NPM scripts in
the package.json are designed to run with Bash. If you
cannot have Bash shell installed for some reason, then you need to port those
scripts to CMD or something else. Note that this project is just a sample. You
will always want to customize the scripts for your particular needs.
For full experience you will also need a DB. An easy way to get a DB running for development is to use Docker.
There is a docker-compose.yml file that specifies a suitable PostgreSQL image.
To start the DB, simply run
docker-compose up
in a new shell. The Node server uses a DB to store results if the following variables are set:
export DATABASE_URL='postgres:https://keb:keb@dockerhost:5432/keb'
Check that the hostname (above dockerhost) matches your configuration.
