restify-orm-scaffold

Simple baseline scaffold to get you started using TypeORM and/or Sequelize and/or Waterline on restify with TypeScript.

Install prerequisites

Node

0. node & npm (tested with node v10.16.0 & npm v6.10.1)
1. Run: npm install -g typings typescript bunyan
2. cd to directory you've cloned this repo into
3. Run: typings install
4. Run: npm install

External

• Database, e.g.: Postgres. Set RDBMS_URI env var accordingly, e.g.: postgres://username:password@hostname:port/database_name. Modify config.ts to use a different database.
• Redis. Set REDIS_URL env var accordingly; otherwise defaults are used.
• Set: DEFAULT_ADMIN_EMAIL and DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD env vars

Docker

Alternatively there is a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml, so rather than installing dependencies (other than Docker), you can run:

Docker Compose

docker-compose up

Kubernetes

If you'd rather use Kubernetes to Docker Compose, then:

Docker

If you don't want to use Docker Compose, then assuming you have Redis and Postgresql running independently of Docker, or exposed in Docker through ports, you can then run:

docker run -e RDBMS_URI="$RDBMS_URI" \
           -e REDIS_HOST="$REDIS_HOST" \
           -e DEFAULT_ADMIN_EMAIL=foo \
           -e DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=bar \
           -p 3000:3000 \
           --name "${PWD##*/}" \
           "${PWD##*/}_api"  # Name of the Docker image, the `_api` is suffixed by Docker Compose

Where RDBMS_URI and REDIS_HOST environment variables are set correctly for your system, in the form:

export RDBMS_URI='postgres://username:password@hostname:port/database_name'
export REDIS_HOST='host'

Configure a reverse proxy for server & static website files

Use a long nginxctl CLI command to create an nginx config and server it:

python -m nginxctl serve --temp_dir '/tmp' -b 'server' --server_name 'localhost' --listen '8080' -b 'location' '/api' --proxy_pass 'http://localhost:3000' --proxy_redirect 'off' -} -b 'location' '/' --root '/tmp/wwwroot' --try_files '$uri$args $uri$args/ /index.html' -} -}

Or just write a config (below is what the command generates… with 2 newlines thrown in):

server {
    server_name localhost;
    listen 8080;

    location /api {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }

    location / {
        root /tmp/wwwroot;
        try_files $uri$args $uri$args/ /index.html;
    }
}

Compile+run app

tsc
node main.js

Misc

Cleanup compiled output

When *.js isn't present in .gitignore, clean out compiled js with this GNU findutils & Bash solution:

find -name '*.js.map' -type f -exec bash -c 'rm "${1}" "${1%????}"' bash {} \;

To delete all *.js outside of node_modules, use:

find \( -name node_modules -prune \) -o -name '*.js' -type f -exec rm {} \;

More complicated solution handling "foo.ts" & "foo.js" without "foo.js.map" coming at some point.
