This is a vanilla Node.js rest API created to show that it is possible to create a rest API using only vanilla Node.js. But in most cases, I would recommend you to use something like Express in a production project for productivity purposes.

What is inside?

This project uses lot of stuff such as:

• Javascript
• Node.js
• Chai
• Mocha
• Sinon
• Istanbul

Getting Started

1. clone repository and go to project folder

git clone https://github.com/EduD/vanilla-node-rest-api-tdd.git
cd vanilla-node-rest-api-tdd

2. Create .env and populate database:

# see .env.example to create same variables in .env
touch .env
npm run seed

3. run the development server:

npm run dev

You can use insomnia to test all endpoints

# ROUTES
GET      /tasks
POST     /tasks
GET      /task/:id
PUT      /task/:id
DELETE   /task/:id

Commands

# runs your application (you need config your .env with variable "PORT")
npm run dev

# Populate fake data  (you need config your .env with variable "SEED_AMOUNT")
npm run seed

# run all tests
npm run test

# run all unit tests
npm run test:unit

# run all integration tests
