music-library

This is a server made to manage a music library. CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations were made for albums and artists in a database.

The app has been built using JavaScript using Express framework, Docker for the container, pgAdmin4 for database management, and Mocha for testing.

Set Up

1. Install Docker

2. In your terminal:

   docker run --name postgres -p <pgPortNumber>:<pgPortNumber> -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<yourPassword> -d postgres
   

3. Clone the repo to your local machine and install the necessary dependencies:

  git clone https://github.com/CodeLHC/music-library
  cd /path/to/repo
  npm install

4. Create .env and .env.test files to load the environment variables. PGDATABASE will need to have a different name in each file to avoid conflicts. (.env is used for dev testing and .env.test is used for unit/integration tests)

   PGUSER=<user>
   PGHOST=localhost
   PGPASSWORD=<yourPassword>
   PGDATABASE=<nameOfDatabase>
   PGPORT=<pgPortNumber>
   PORT=<port>

5. Start the API using

npm start

Using the Project

You can add, remove, update and delete artists and albums in the database using the routes provided in the 'routes' folders (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE).

Testing the Project

You can run the tests made here using the command 'npm test'. The tests use Mocha and covers the basic functions of the app.
