A Sample Test API Built on Express, Sequelize and Async/ Await Documentation.

For Socar Malaysia Test Assessment by JustEd @ R. Aidy.

This SBB project was bootstrapped with: https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css.

Example on using bootstrap.min.css with a Node Express for the frontend(client)

Usage

Install nodemon globally

npm i nodemon -g

Install server and client dependencies

yarn
cd client
yarn

To start the server and client at the same time (from the root of the project)

yarn dev

Running the production build on localhost. This will create a production build, then Node will serve the app on http://localhost:5000

NODE_ENV=production yarn dev:server

How this works

The key to use an Express backend with a project created with create-react-app is on using a proxy. We have a proxy entry in client/package.json

"proxy": "http://localhost:5000/"

This tells Webpack development server to proxy our API requests to our API server, given that our Express server is running on localhost:5000

Async/ Await ~ folder path ./client/src/App.js

CallApi method was create to interact with GET Express API route, then call this method in componentDidMount and finally set the state to the API response, which fetch '/api/hello' path from express route.

componentDidMount() {
    this.callApi()
      .then(res => this.setState({ response: res.express }))
      .catch(err => console.log(err));
  }

  callApi = async () => {
    const response = await fetch('/api/hello');
    const body = await response.json();

    if (response.status !== 200) throw Error(body.message);

    return body;
  };

  handleSubmit = async e => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const response = await fetch('/api/world', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      ```

Install dependencies to sequelize.js server path

We'll be installing mysql2. If you are using a different database, please install the appropriate package (pg pg-hstore | sqlite3 | tedious // MSSQL). That will be the only thing you need to change — the rest of this example is platform agnostic.

npm install --save body-parser express mysql2 sequelize
