This is a simple Node.js backend app that creates and stores hypothetical product listings. Together with sample-app, its purpose is to demonstrate how to deploy a simple app on the Humanitec internal developer platform.

The app exposes an API on /products that allows you to create and list product items. Products are stored in a single table in a Postgres database.

You can configure the app's database connection using these environmental variables:

The whole system can be run locally using docker-compose. This will run the product-be server and expose it on localhost:8080 and initialize a PostgreSQL database which can be accessed on localhost:5432. The admin password to the database is pgsqlDev01.

Run the following commands in the root of the repository:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up

Tests can be run with:

$ npm run test

When running locally, you must have a PostgreSQL server up and running with a database created and with a PostgreSQL ROLE that has LOGIN rights.

After that, the server can be run with the following command:

$ CONNECTION_STRING="postgresql://product_robot:pr0dr0b0t@productdb:5432/product" \
  node bin/www

Now the database server is running on localhost:5432 with a database called product created by a user called product_robot with password pr0dr0b0t.
