api-starter-kit

This project is half an educational tool for me to learn more infrastructure and half an easy starting point for making HTTP APIs

Dependencies

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• Docker

Build

$ vagrant up

Run

$ vagrant ssh
$ cd starter-kit
$ node app.js

Visit http://localhost:8080/api/v1/ping in your browser. If everything is running, you should get PONG as a response.

I currently don't have any fancy auto-running tools for Node, as this is for development, and most tools that reload on code changes seem to perform slowly on VirtualBox VMs.

Debug

# Run the PostgreSQL shell:
$ psql -d DB_NAME -h DB_HOSTNAME -U DB_USERNAME
