There are two possible ways to run the project. First way is to install node, npm and MongoDB locally and other preferred way is to use Docker. To install docker, check Docker official documentation. This readme covers only the case when Docker is installed.
If Docker is started, execute docker-compose up command to run the project. Docker automatically
starts MongoDB and node environments with the project. Project should be started
available http://localhost:3000. On first start, execute
docker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 npm run database-initialization to init database.
Hot reloading is configured, so the project automatically restarts if you make change in code.
If Docker and project is started and you need to run any command in started container, use
docker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 <command> to execute command:
docker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 npm install --save <library>- installs new dependencydocker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 npm install --save-dev <library>- installs new dev dependencydocker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 npm install- installs dependencies frompackage-lock.jsondocker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 npm update- updates dependencies andpackage-lock.jsondocker exec nodejs-example-app_node_1 npm test- runs tests
Or you can enter interactive mode if you execute docker exec -it nodejs-example-app_node_1 bash.
