Books API Example

Inspired by Scott Moss' API course thought I would take a stab at testing out how I would architect an API using NodeJS, Express, and Prisma.

Develop the easy way

docker-compose up -d

• Creates and starts a database container, runs the migrations
• API will be available at http://localhost:3000
• Prisma Studio (database UI) will be available at http://localhost:5555

Develop the slightly harder way

• Stand up the db ./data-scripts/setup.sh
• Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the values (get missing values from container setup script)
• Update the database ./data-scripts/update-db.sh
• Start the server npm run dev
