Node.js / Express / PostgreSQL (Sequelize) starter kit

I created this simple starter kit to get started working on simple Node.js API project quickly

• Node.js
• PostgreSQL
• Sequelize
• Sequelize-CLI
• JSON Web Token

Hosting

• Heroku

Testing

• Mocha
• Chai
• Supertest

Features

• Linting (Airbnb)
• Authentication with JSON Web Token
• Username, Email, Password validations
• User signup, signin
• API and Unit testing
• Easily deployable to Heroku (Procfile)

To run locally

Make sure to install and run PostgreSQL first.

brew update
brew install postgres
createdb npas-dev

Clone the repo and run the app

git clone [email protected]:yhagio/node-postgres-api-starter.git nd
cd nd
npm i 
npm run start

To run test

npm run test

and in another tab

npm run test:only

To deploy on Heroku

heroku login
heroku create
git push heroku master

Side Note

With sequelize-cli

./node_modules/.bin/sequelize init

will create model setup and edit ./config/config.json for your database.
