This project is fully automated. You should not have to download any additional software to your computer.

To run the Docker container, in your terminal run docker-compose up --build or, as an alternative, npm start.

Once the Docker container is running, visit localhost:3000 to get the 'Hello World!' test message.

To get into the running postgres db (requires docker), run npm run psql.

To add more tables to your database, go to db -> init.sql. There you can add all of your tables. The tables will be created when the Docker container is being built.

To add your routes, go to app -> routes.js. Use the examples there to help you.

I highly recommend adding some security to your routes. You need to protect your database from bad actors. One suggestion is JWT.

This project was inspired by the work of Francesco Ciulla with his study-with-me-fastify-docker project.
