## Requirements
### Node.js
Please install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) `>= v18` and [npm](https://nodejs.org/) `>= v9`. You will find it
easier to use the Node Version Manager [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm)
To use the correct version of Node.js for this application, via nvm:
```bash
cd disinfectant-backend
nvm use
```
## Local development
### Setup
Install application dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
### Development
To run the application in `development` mode run:
```bash
npm run dev
```
### Testing
To test the application run:
```bash
npm run test
```
### Production
To mimic the application running in `production` mode locally run:
```bash
npm start
```
### Npm scripts
All available Npm scripts can be seen in [package.json](./package.json)
To view them in your command line run:
```bash
npm run
```
## API endpoints
| Endpoint | Description |
| :------------------- | :----------------------------- |
| `GET: /health` | Health |
| `GET: /example ` | Example API (remove as needed) |
| `GET: /example/` | Example API (remove as needed) |
## Calling API endpoints
### Postman
A [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) collection and environment are available for making calls to the disinfectant-backend API.
Simply import the collection and environment into Postman.
- [CDP Node Backend Template Postman Collection](postman/disinfectant-backend.postman_collection.json)
- [CDP Node Backend Template Postman Environment](postman/disinfectant-backend.postman_environment.json)
## Development helpers
### MongoDB Locks
If you require a write lock for Mongo you can acquire it via `server.locker` or `request.locker`:
```javascript
async function doStuff(server) {
const lock = await server.locker.lock('unique-resource-name')
if (!lock) {
// Lock unavailable
return
}
try {
// do stuff
} finally {
await lock.free()
}
}
```
Keep it small and atomic.
You may use **using** for the lock resource management.
Note test coverage reports do not like that syntax.
```javascript
async function doStuff(server) {
await using lock = await server.locker.lock('unique-resource-name')
if (!lock) {
// Lock unavailable
return
}
// do stuff
// lock automatically released
}
```
Helper methods are also available in `/src/helpers/mongo-lock.js`.
