# Node.js & PostgreSQL
## Summary
*Develop applications in Node.js and PostgreSQL. Includes Node.js, eslint, and yarn in a container linked to a Postgres DB container*

| *Definition type* | Docker Compose |

| *Languages, platforms* | Node.js, JavaScript, PostgreSQL DB |
## Description
This definition creates two containers, one for Node.js and one for PostgreSQL. VS Code will attach to the Node.js container, and from within that container the PostgreSQL container will be available on **`localhost`** port 5432. The default database is named `postgres` with a user of `postgres` whose password is `postgres`, and if desired this may be changed in `docker-compose.yml`. Data is stored in a volume named `postgres-data`.
While the definition itself works unmodified, it uses the `mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/javascript-node` image which includes `git`, `eslint`, `zsh`, [Oh My Zsh!](https://ohmyz.sh/), a non-root `vscode` user with `sudo` access, and a set of common dependencies for development. You can pick a different version of this image by updating the `VARIANT` arg in `.devcontainer/docker-compose.yml` to pick a Node.js version.
```yaml
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
args:
# Update 'VARIANT' to pick an LTS version of Node.js: 16, 14, 12.
# Append -bullseye or -buster to pin to an OS version.
# Use -bullseye variants on local arm64/Apple Silicon.
VARIANT: 14-bullseye
```
You also can connect to PostgreSQL from an external tool when using VS Code by updating `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` as follows:
```json
"forwardPorts": [ "5432" ]
```
### Adding another service
You can add other services to your `docker-compose.yml` file [as described in Docker's documentaiton](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#service-configuration-reference). However, if you want anything running in this service to be available in the container on localhost, or want to forward the service locally, be sure to add this line to the service config:
```yaml
# Runs the service on the same network as the database container, allows "forwardPorts" in devcontainer.json function.
network_mode: service:db
```
### Adding the definition to a project or codespace
1. If this is your first time using a development container, please see getting started information on [setting up](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started) Remote-Containers or [creating a codespace](https://aka.ms/ghcs-open-codespace) using GitHub Codespaces.
2. Start VS Code and open your project folder or connect to a codespace.
3. Press F1 select and **Add Development Container Configuration Files...** command for **Remote-Containers** or **Codespaces**.
> **Note:** If needed, you can drag-and-drop the `.devcontainer` folder from this sub-folder in a locally cloned copy of this repository into the VS Code file explorer instead of using the command.
4. Select this definition. You may also need to select **Show All Definitions...** for it to appear.
5. Finally, press F1 and run **Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container** or **Codespaces: Rebuild Container** to start using the definition.
## Testing the definition
This definition includes some test code that will help you verify it is working as expected on your system. Follow these steps:
1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the [getting started steps](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/containers/getting-started) to set up your machine.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Start VS Code, press F1, and select **Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container...**
4. Select the `containers/javascript-node-postgres` folder.
5. After the folder has opened in the container, press F5 to start the project. This will automatically run `npm install` before starting it.
6. Once the project is running, press F1 and select **Remote-Containers: Forward Port from Container...**
7. Select port 3000 and click the "Open Browser" button in the notification that appears.
8. You should see "Hello remote world! Successfully connected to database." after the page loads.
9. From here, you can add breakpoints or edit the contents of the `test-project` folder to do further testing.
