Node.JS/ MongoDB/ Docker

Overview

REST API using NodeJS, MongoDB and Docker to create a containerized application.

This app was created following all the steps in Docker docs.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Docker

Install

npm install

Usage

Start the application with Docker Compose, run:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

This will install and build the images, besides start the containers.

Check if the application is connected to the database and is able to add a note.

 curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8000/notes \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "name": "this is a note",
    "text": "this is a note that I wanted to take while I was working on writing a blog post.",
    "owner": "peter"
    }'

Debug

The launch.json file was set to debug a containerized app in VSCode.

After start the app, you will be able to add some breakpoints and debug the source code when needed.
