A Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, Knex.js, JWT, EsLint, Docker Compose boilerplate for fast API developement. The API is well secured, using latest packages for that. On top of that, user authentication with JWT is also in place. The SQL queries are built with Knex.js for easier development.
The docker-composer.yml file:
- Starts a MySQL server container based on the official image,
- Starts a Node.js 14.5.0 app that waits for the database to become responsive, and run all migrations and seeds if necessary,
You only need to have Docker installed in your computer, nothing else. The docker-compose.yml file creates a bind mount directoty that allows you to test anything live, just change the code for the server or client and it will immediately become available.
The data for the MySQL will persist between launches.
To bring the project up first install Docker, then run:
docker-compose up
The docker-compose.yml will host the Express app on port 5000 & MySQL DB on port 3306 on the Docker environment.
To bring it down:
docker-compose down -v
If you change your Dockerfile and must rebuild the Node.js or React images, run:
docker-compose up --build
To have EsLint properly linting your files, make sure you run
cd server
docker-compose up --build
in order to have node-modules locally.
