> ### NestJS codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the [RealWorld](https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld-example-apps) API spec.


----------

# Getting started

## Installation

Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/lujakob/nestjs-realworld-example-app.git

Switch to the repo folder

    cd nestjs-realworld-example-app
    
Install dependencies
    
    npm install

Copy config file and set JsonWebToken secret key

    cp src/config.ts.example src/config.ts
    
----------

## Database

The codebase contains examples of two different database abstractions, namely [TypeORM](http://typeorm.io/) and [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/). 
    
The branch `master` implements TypeORM with a mySQL database.

The branch `prisma` implements Prisma with a mySQL database.

----------

##### TypeORM

----------

Create a new mysql database with the name `nestjsrealworld`\
(or the name you specified in the ormconfig.json)

Copy TypeORM config example file for database settings

    cp ormconfig.json.example
    
Set mysql database settings in ormconfig.json

    {
      "type": "mysql",
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 3306,
      "username": "your-mysql-username",
      "password": "your-mysql-password",
      "database": "nestjsrealworld",
      "entities": ["src/**/**.entity{.ts,.js}"],
      "synchronize": true
    }
    
Start local mysql server and create new database 'nestjsrealworld'

On application start, tables for all entities will be created.

----------

##### Prisma

----------

To run the example with Prisma checkout branch `prisma`, remove the node_modules and run `npm install`

Create a new mysql database with the name `nestjsrealworld-prisma` (or the name you specified in `prisma/.env`)

Copy prisma config example file for database settings

    cp prisma/.env.example prisma/.env

Set mysql database settings in prisma/.env

    DATABASE_URL="mysql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE"

To create all tables in the new database make the database migration from the prisma schema defined in prisma/schema.prisma

    npx prisma migrate save --experimental
    npx prisma migrate up --experimental

Now generate the prisma client from the migrated database with the following command

    npx prisma generate

The database tables are now set up and the prisma client is generated. For more information see the docs:

- https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/setup-prisma/add-to-existing-project-typescript-mysql


----------

## NPM scripts

- `npm start` - Start application
- `npm run start:watch` - Start application in watch mode
- `npm run test` - run Jest test runner 
- `npm run start:prod` - Build application

----------

## API Specification

This application adheres to the api specifications set by the [Thinkster](https://github.com/gothinkster) team. This helps mix and match any backend with any other frontend without conflicts.
