Ready to use RESTful API boilerplate builded with [Express.js](http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html), [Typescript](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript) [TypeORM](https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm) and [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/). 🤘
Thanks to Daniel F. Sousa for inspiration with her [Express ES2017 REST API boilerplate](https://github.com/danielfsousa/express-rest-boilerplate) :beer:

## Getting started
### Prerequisites
* Git
* Node.js >= 14.16.0
* NPM >= 6.14.0
* A database engine with a dedicated database
When you're with that, starting your project is a matter of minutes. :clock12:
### Step 1: install
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/konfer-be/typeplate.git path-to/your-project-name/
```
### Step 2: go to
```bash
$ cd path-to/your-project-name/
```
### Step 3: build
```bash
$ npm run init
```
### Step 4: setup package.json
Open the *./package.json* file and edit it with your own values.
### Step 5: setup environment
Open *./dist/env/development.env* and fill the required env variables (uncommented in the file). See wiki [env variables list](https://github.com/steve-lebleu/typeplate/wiki/Environment-variables) for more informations.
```bash
# Access token Secret passphrase
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = "your-secret"
# CORS authorized domains
AUTHORIZED = "http://localhost:4200"
# API domain
DOMAIN = "localhost"
# Application port.
PORT = 8101
# Refresh token Secret passphrase
REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET = "your-secret"
# Database engine
TYPEORM_TYPE = "mysql"
# Database server host
TYPEORM_HOST = "localhost"
# Database name. Keep it different from your developement database.
TYPEORM_DB = "your-database"
# Database user
TYPEORM_USER = "root"
# Database password
TYPEORM_PWD = ""
# Database port
TYPEORM_PORT = "3306"
```
### Step 6: setup cliamrc.js
Transactional emails are send with [cliam](https://github.com/steve-lebleu/cliam). Open the *.cliamrc.js* and fill the [required configuration](https://github.com/steve-lebleu/cliam/wiki/Configuration-with-cliamrc.js) according your sending mode. See Cliam official [documentation](https://github.com/steve-lebleu/cliam/wiki) for more information.
Sandbox is set to true by default.
### Step 7: run
```bash
$ nodemon
```
## Entity generation
Some repetitive tasks such as creating resources can be done quickly with [rsgen](https://github.com/steve-lebleu/rsgen).
See [entity generation](https://github.com/steve-lebleu/typeplate/wiki/Entity-generation) wiki section to learn more about generated elements and how to use.
## Documentation
```bash
$ npm run doc
```
Generate API documentation website into *./docs/apidoc/*.
See [apidoc](http://apidocjs.com/) for more informations about customization.
## Tests
```bash
$ npm run test
```
:warning: Because there are integration tests, you need a dedicated database to run the tests suites. It's already managed in CI/CD using Github actions, You need to mount it yourself in your local environment.
HTML coverage report is generated by [Istanbul](https://github.com/gotwarlost/istanbul) in *./reports/nyc-coverage*.
Bonus with *./insomnia.workspace.json* if you wish run manual e2e tests without create the config.
## Continuous integration
Basic Github actions configuration is provided in *./.github/workkflows.yml* files.
## Deployment
Project implements a basic [PM2](https://github.com/Unitech/PM2/) configuration to allow deployment.
Install PM2 globaly :
```bash
$ npm i pm2 -g
```
### Configuration
Configure the *./ecosystem.config.js* file with your env informations.
```javascript
{
deploy : {
staging : {
user : 'node',
host : '212.83.163.1',
ref : 'origin/master',
repo : '[email protected]:repo.git',
ssh_options: ['StrictHostKeyChecking=no', 'PasswordAuthentication=yes', 'ForwardAgent=yes'],
path : '/var/www/staging',
'post-setup' : 'npm run kickstart:staging && pm2 reload ecosystem.config.js --env staging',
'post-deploy' : 'npm i && tsc && pm2 reload ecosystem.config.js --env staging'
}
}
}
```
More info about PM2 [ecosystem.config.js](https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/reference/ecosystem-file/) file.
### Deploy
Pm 2 must be installed on the target server and your SSH public key granted.
```bash
# Setup deployment at remote location
$ pm2 deploy production setup
# Update remote version
$ pm2 deploy production update
```
More info about [PM2](http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/quick-start/) and [PM2 deploy](https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/guide/easy-deploy-with-ssh/).
