Backend Server

Quickstart 🐳

Use this to run the backend with a postgresql db in docker

1. Clone the repo or copy the docker-compose
2. Run in toe folder that contains the docker-compose file: docker-compose up -d
3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:4010/api/docs to check if the server is running
4. You can now use the default admin user (demo:demo)

Dev Setup 🛠

Local dev setup utilizing sqlite3 as the database.

1. Rename the .env.example file to .env (you can adjust app port and other settings, if needed)
2. Install Dependencies

pnpm i

3. Start the server

pnpm dev

Run Tests

# Run tests once (server has to run)
pnpm test

# Run test in watch mode (reruns on change)
pnpm test:watch

# Run test in ci mode (automaticly starts the dev server)
pnpm test:ci
