Node.js, Express, Sequelize, and PostgreSQL

A simple backend REST API for IMDb database built with Node.js, Express, Sequelize, PostgreSQL.

Environment configuration

.env file in the root directory of this package contains the connection string to the database:

DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:postgres@127.0.0.1:5432/demo?schema=imdb"

The connection string is of the form:

postgres://USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT/DATABASE_NAME?schema=SCHEMA

If you use your different PostgreSQL instance, then change this key accordingly.

The .env file has the setting for Metis API:

METIS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

Replace this key accordingly if you want to use Metis with TestContainers. This is optional, the application will work without the key as well.

Run the application using Docker

Run the command:

./start-service.sh

This will create the Docker container and start it.

If you want to remove the image after you're done, run this:

./remove-container.sh

This script will prune the images as well. It will ask for confirmation.
