# USU CS4610 Nest Starter App
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
A starter app with Postgres, NestJS, and React
|
|
|
|
## Cloning the project
|
|
This app is designed to used as a starting point for another application so you will want to clone the project into a folder that matches your app. Run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:dittonjs/NestStarterApp.git <YourAppName>
|
|
```
|
|
a
|
|
Replace your app name with the name of your app, for example
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:dittonjs/NestStarterApp.git SpyChat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next, go create a remote repository in github (or gitlab, or bitbucket, it doesn't matter) for your new application.
|
|
|
|
Finally, run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ bash ./bin/setup_new_project.sh
|
|
```
|
|
and follow the prompts. This script will link the repo to your new repo while maintaining a reference to the starter app repo. This way, if we make changes to the starter app repo, you can still get those changes.
|
|
|
|
## Pulling Updates from Starter App
|
|
|
|
To retrieve changes from the starter app run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git pull upstream main
|
|
```
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
### asdf-vm
|
|
Tool versions are managed using `asdf-vm`. You will need to have `asdf-vm` installed first.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
### Tool versions
|
|
Install the tool versions by running
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ asdf install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install yarn
|
|
We will use `yarn` instead of `npm` for package managment. To install yarn run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm install -g yarn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .env
|
|
Create a file in the root called `.env` and copy the contents of `.env.example`.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you create a new file instead of renaming the `.env.example` file.
|
|
|
|
In your new `.env` file update the values for each key as you would like
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
To install the server dependencies run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ yarn # this is same thing as `yarn install`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install the client dependencies run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd client && yarn && cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
This application uses Postgres. To setup the database run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ yarn db:setup
|
|
```
|
|
This will create the database, run the migrations, and run the seeds for you.
|
|
|
|
### Migrations
|
|
Any time you want make changes to your database schema you will need to generate a migration file
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn db:migration:generate AddContextToRoles # replace this name with a name that describes your migration
|
|
```
|
|
Open that migration file and make the changes. Then, when you are ready
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ yarn db:migrate
|
|
```
|
|
will run any pending migrations.
|
|
|
|
If a team member adds a migrations you will need to run the migrate command to make the changes to your local database as well.
|
|
|
|
### Seeds
|
|
Seeds allow you to pre-populate your database with data. By default this application prepopulates the `Roles` and the Admin `User` into your database.
|
|
|
|
If you make changes to the seeds file at `server/database/seeds.ts` the make sure that, in the event seeds are run multiple times, you don't end up with duplicate data.
|
|
|
|
To run the seeds
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ yarn db:seed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SSL
|
|
**Only do this step if you intend on developing your app in an environment where you need SSL (like canvas or other embedded platforms).**
|
|
|
|
In your `.env` set
|
|
```
|
|
USE_SSL=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a ssl key and certificate and place them in the root directory
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout private-key.pem -out public-cert.pem -sha256 -nodes
|
|
```
|
|
Enter `US` for the country code. Where this key will only be used for development you can leave all of the rest of information blank.
|
|
|
|
## Running the app
|
|
To start the server run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ yarn start:dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To start the client run
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ yarn client:watch
|
|
```
|
|
|
