Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

• Node
• NPM
• Yarn

Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Torres-ssf/rent-car-api

2. CD into the project root directory

cd rent-car-api/

3. Install npm packages

yarn

Using Docker

This application uses Docker and Docker Compose and can be quickly initiate by simply running docker-compose up. In order that to work you will need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system. Docker will setup the database container, create the app and test database, setup the app container, and will start the app. The steps are:

1. Run docker compose.

docker-compose up

After docker compose finishing initiate the application, you will see the log App launched at 3333 🚀. Before using the application, it's necessary to run the migrations first.

2. To run the migrations inside the docker container, we can simply use the following script:

yarn typeorm:docker migration:run

Now the application is ready to be used.

Without Docker

Setting up the application without Docker requires more steps.

1. After cloning the repo, make a copy of the ormconfig.example.json file and rename it to ormconfig.json.

2. We need to edit the properties user, password, port, and database at the ormconfig.json. The values that you are going to use depends on how postgreSQL is setup on your system. After setting up user, password, and port we need to give the name of an existent database to the database property. By default, integration tests run on database called rent_api_test_db. We also need to create this database or integration tests are not going work.

3. Now with the database properly setup, we can run the migrations:

yarn typeorm migration:run

4. And finally, we can start the app:

yarn start:dev

If everything was done properly, a log message will appear at the terminal: Server started on port 3333!

Usage

It is possible to explore all API endpoints using an interactive documentation created with Swagger UI. After the application is running you can open the browser at http://localhost:3333/documentation and start using it.

Many of the endpoints are reserved to admin users. There is a script to easily create an admin. After setting up the Db connection, you can simply run:

yarn seed:admin

An admin user will be created with the following credentials:

email: john.admin@email.com
password: Aa123456

To be able to tests login required endpoint at the Swagger Documentation, you will need first to use a jwt token to gain authorization. The steps are the following:

1. At the documentation page, we will use the session endpoint to generate an jwt token. Click at Try it out

2. Give the admin credentials and click on the execute button:

3. Copy the generated token from the response object:

4. Click on the Authorize button at the top of the page:

5. Insert the token in the value input and then click on Authorize:

6. Now all endpoints can be used within the documentation.

Run tests

This application has unit and integrations tests. Integration tests are running in a database named rent_api_test_db by default. This database is created by the docker-compose file. If you are not using Docker, it needs to be created manually.

To run the tests we can simply run the following script.

yarn test

This application is still in development process and unit and integration tests are being written as the application grows, following TDD.
