express-sql

A simple RESTful API connected to a PostgreSQL database.

Based on node.js and express.js, coupled with the power of the postgreSQL client and a clean, lightweight and scalable folder structure.

Usage

To use this example, you need to clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/n-els/express-sql.git

Install all dependencies from the package.json with npm

npm i

Customize the connectionString (located in /db/index.js (You should use an .environment variable here!)

const  connectionString  =  process.env.DB_CONNECTION_STRING;

Now you should be able to start your server with

npm start

To permanently "watch" your server (powered by nodemon), you should instead run

npm run dev
