Node.js RESTful API

I have nothing to say yet. This is just a study project.

Setup

Step by step to prepare the environment.

Redis

• Linux
• Windows

MongoDB

• Install MongoDB
• On Windows, create a folder to store the data files (e.g C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data)
• Add extra security by editing the file C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongod.cfg (Windows) or /etc/mongod.conf (Linux) adding the YAML code bellow:

security:
  authorization: enabled

• In addition, change the dbPath if your're on Windows:

storage:
  dbPath: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data

• On Windows, add the bin path to Environment Variables

• Stop the MongoDB service to proceed with the next steps by running sudo service mongod stop (Linux) or net stop MongoDB (Windows)

• Create the super user to work with all databases. Open a command prompt and type:

$ mongod --dbpath "your_data_path" # this will run the MongoDB service without any security mode (e.g --auth)

• With previous one running, open another command prompt and type:

$ mongo
$ use admin
$ db.createUser({ user: 'root', pwd: 'password', roles: [ 'root' ] })

• And lastly, close these two command prompts and restart the MongoDB service

Adding new database

As MongoDB works on top of NoSQL document-oriented database, we do not need to create any database for our application.

Whenever we need to start a new application with its database, we create an user and give to it the dbOwner role. So now, we need to go to the command prompt and type:

$ mongo
$ use admin
$ db.auth('root', 'password')
$ use dbname
$ db.createUser({ user: 'admin', pwd: 'password', roles: [ 'dbOwner' ] })

Usage

• Run the command npm run worker to start the queue worker with bee-queue
• Run the command npm run start to start the server with nodemon
