Node JS API

Simple node js api project with jwt authentication with mongodb.

Instruction

This is assumed that npm, node and mongodb are installed on the machine.

• node js >= 10.x.x
• npm >= 6.x.x
• mongodb >= 4.2.x

For installing node and npm please refer here. For installing mongodb here.

Note: I recommended to use npm@5, Because it provides npm audit facility to check vulnerability in your dependencies.

Installation and Run

1. Clone the repository and move to cloned directory and hit:

   npm install

   This will install all the dependencies for the project.

2. To start the project hit:

   node index.route.js
   

   or

   npm start
   

   This will start the project on the port number as you specify in .env file. Default is 4040, so you API is now on https://localhost:4040 url.

Configuration

1. Configuration application using .env file by setting environment variable.

2. Disable JWT authentication

   By commenting following line you can disabled JWT verification in index.route.js.

   // app.use(expressJwt({secret: process.env.APP_SECRET}).unless(filter));
