Create RealWorld application

[talentlessguy]

Create a real-world application, a Medium clone, according to this repo spec

Stack:

tool	name
web framework	tinyhttp (obv)
body parser	milliparsec
database	PostgreSQL
ORM	Prisma or anything else
auth	JWT (w/ @tinyhttp/jwt)
cors	@tinyhttp/cors
unit tests	uvu + supertest-fetch

The whole code must be in a separate repository and the PR only needs to include a link to that repository.

example readme:

RealWorld

Example tinyhttp Medium clone following the RealWorld spec.

Check the node-tinyhttp-realworld-example-app repository.

p.s.: after completing an example, either me or the one who made the repo should open an issue to realworld repo and after that, submit a PR

@talentlessguy Hi, I'd like to give this a shot. Should this be written in JavaScript or is TypeScript ok?

[talentlessguy]

@thebearingedge I think it doesn't matter that much here but I prefer JS so you can show that ESM works with Node and tinyhttp without any custom build step

and yes you can give it a shot, I can assign you to the task if you want

[thebearingedge]

Ok, I'm on it. I noticed that you included the eta template engine, but the specs from RealWorld are for a REST API. It's cool if we just submit a JSON back end?

[talentlessguy]

@thebearingedge oops my bad

yeah eta is not needed here

[talentlessguy]

@thebearingedge ping

how is it going with the realworld app?

(not hurrying ya or anything, jsut checking if everything is alright and you're not stuck bc of tinyhttp bugs)

[thebearingedge]

Hey! Yeah, it's going ok. I'm not going to lie, the initial ramp up on a 100% new set of tech was pretty rough in the beginning 😅 . I haven't used an ORM in about 5 years.

But I think I have some time today to get a couple more routes done.

Here is where the project is right now. The code will need to get rearranged quite a bit because some of the choices make no sense in the context of this setup, particularly since Prisma does not support Long Running Transactions, which is how I normally handle tests 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, it's been pretty fun so far! 👍

[talentlessguy]

@thebearingedge nice! great to see that everything is going well

@talentlessguy Hi, I'd like to give this a shot. Should this be written in JavaScript or is TypeScript ok?

Hi, can you also produce a Typescript version please?

[talentlessguy]

@thebearingedge hi, I have a little question about the status of the repo

I'm planning to release V2 in the near future (1-3 months) and have a question

will the real-world application be ready by that time? it's completely fine if it won't, don't worry about that. I'm just asking in case I could include that in the release notes of V2. otherwise, it'll be left for next release

[thebearingedge]

@talentlessguy Yeah, I have some PTO coming up in a few weeks 👍

[aldy505]

@thebearingedge hello, do you need help?

[thebearingedge]

@aldy505 that would be fantastic! 👍

I probably won't have time to dedicate to the project until about two weeks.

[aldy505]

@thebearingedge I'll open an issue on your repo about which part will I be working.

[jeanhdev]

Hi guys, is the project on still ? I'd like to contribute

[talentlessguy]

@jeanhdev yes it is and if you want you could fork that real world example or start your own from scratch, using the stack mentioned in readme

[rezendevictor]

@talentlessguy can I give a shot at this? Any specifications not present in this thread that I need to know before I start?

[talentlessguy]

@talentlessguy can I give a shot at this? Any specifications not present in this thread that I need to know before I start?

yeah sure, no specifications besides the RealWorld official guide + just use some of tech stack I suggested + create your own repo and I'll later transfer it to tinyhttp repo with you as an owner
