# Server template
This is a simple server template to for my students to start projects quickly.
## Table of contents:
- **[Setup](#setup-how-to-use-this-template)**
- **[Endpoints](#endpoints)**
- **[Sample requests with axios](#sample-requests-with-axios)**
- **[Sample requests with httpie](#sample-requests-with-httpie)**
- **[History of this project (pullrequests)](#history-of-this-project)**
## SETUP How to use this template
1. Create a new project based on this template using the `Use this template` button
2. Clone the app
```
git clone [email protected]:YOUR_GITHUB_NAME/YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.git
```
3. cd into your project
```
cd YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
```
4. install dependencies
```
npm install
```
5. Configure your database in `config/config.json`
Default config is setup for usage with an ElephantSQL database instance, you need to provide the DB Url on the "url" key of the config.json file, key development.
```json
// config/config.json
{
"development": {
"url": "YOUR_ELEPHANTSQL_URL_HERE",
"dialect": "postgres",
"operatorsAliases": "0"
},
}
```
If planning to use this template with a docker database the config object should be changed to:
```json
// config/config.json
{
"development": {
"username": "postgres",
"password": "secret",
"database": "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_HERE_development",
"host": "localhost",
"dialect": "postgres",
"operatorsAliases": "0"
}
}
```
And you must revert the changes on this line in models/index.js: https://github.com/Codaisseur/express-template/commit/ada7711c8b19c8f240bc61f94743213efe4a77d2#diff-18c449caa39363f82bacb4f7489e7783L15
6. Create database, run migrations & seed data
`package.json` contains a script for this
```bash
npm run initdev
```
Or run the commands seperately
```bash
npx sequelize-cli db:migrate
npx sequelize-cli db:seed:all
```
7. start server with `nodemon` (recommended for development)
```
npm run dev
```
8. or start normally
```
npm start
```
## Endpoints
| Method | Path | Purpose | required parameters | auth |
| ------ | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------- | ---- |
| GET | '/' | Test if your server is running | none | no |
| POST | '/echo' | Test POST requests | none | no |
| POST | '/signup' | Create a new user and get a token | email, name, password | no |
| POST | '/login' | Get a token with email & password | email, password | no |
| GET | '/me' | Get information of this user | none | yes |
| POST | '/authorized_post_request' | Test POST requests (token required) | none | yes |

3. Run example requests
```
