Express/Nodejs Starter with JWT Authentication, OAuth (Github), and SQLite persistence - Provided by AppSeed. Authentication Flow uses json web tokens via Passport library - passport-jwt strategy.

👉 Support via Discord & Email provided by AppSeed.

• 🚀 Full-stack ready with React Soft Dashboard
• ✅ Simple, intuitive codebase - can be extended with ease.
• ✅ TypeScript, Joy for validation
• ✅ Stack: NodeJS / Express / SQLite / TypeORM
• ✅ Auth: Passport / passport-jwt strategy
• 🆕 OAuth for Github

Tested with:

• Node.js >= v16.13
• SQLite

👉 Step 1 - Clone the project

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/api-server-nodejs.git $ cd api-server-nodejs

👉 Step 2 - Install dependencies via Yarn

$ npm i // OR $ yarn

👉 Step 3 - Run the SQLite migration via TypeORM

$ npm run typeorm migration:run // OR $ yarn typeorm migration:run 

👉 Step 4 - Edit the .env using the template .env.sample.

PORT=5000 # API PORT SQLITE_PATH=./database.db # Path to the SQLite database file SECRET="Whatever-STRONG" # Secret for sensitive data hashing  # Same as for React APP GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID= ... # Github OAuth secret  GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET= ... # Github OAuth secret

👉 Step 5 - Start the API server (development mode)

$ npm run dev // OR $ yarn dev

👉 Step 6 - Production Build (files generated in build directory)

$ yarn build

👉 Step 7 - Start the API server for production (files served from build/index.js)

$ yarn start

The API server will start using the PORT specified in .env file (default 5000).

The SQLite Path is set in .env, as SQLITE_PATH

👉 Generate migration:

$ yarn typeorm migration:generate -n your_migration_name

👉 Run migration:

$ yarn typeorm migration:run

For a fast set up, use this POSTMAN file: api_sample

👉 Register - api/users/register

POST api/users/register Content-Type: application/json { "username":"test", "password":"pass", "email":"test@appseed.us" } 

👉 Login - api/users/login

POST /api/users/login Content-Type: application/json { "password":"pass", "email":"test@appseed.us" } 

👉 Logout - api/users/logout

POST api/users/logout Content-Type: application/json authorization: JWT_TOKEN (returned by Login request) { "token":"JWT_TOKEN" } 

👉 Using npm:

$ npm run update-role [user_id] [role_id (optional)]

👉 Using yarn:

$ yarn update-role [user_id] [role_id (optional)]

• [user_id] is the id of existing user to update role for.
• [role_id] is the id of role: 1 for admin & 2 for user. If you don't provide any role_id it would update user to admin role.

$ npm run test // OR $ yarn test
