This template is configured for the ScaleDynamics platform. It is ready to use to build your own server/API. All is pre-configured: we provide one command to develop with live reload and one to deploy to make it live on a url.
Note that you need a ScaleDynamics account for deployment (create a FREE community account here).
First, install the project dependencies
npm installYou can run the project with this command, the server is listening on port 3000 (change it as you want in index.js)
npm run startTo test it, you can use a postman client and make a request
http:/localhost/movies?search=Star%20Trek
Then use your ScaleDynamics account credential to log in to the platform (create a FREE community account here)
npx warp loginFinally, use the deploy command
npm run deployNote that when running this command, you have to select an environment. An environment identifies the cloud execution environment to run your app. You can create as many as you want like ‘staging’, ‘demo’, ‘prod’... Each environment has its own url.
To deploy, select an existing environment or create a new one. For more details on projects or environments, see the documentation.
After the deployment, open your postman client and made the request:
https://YOUR_DOMAIN/movies?search=Star%20Trek
This project is really simple. You have an index.js that initialize Express.js, a mongodb.js file that manage a connection to a database and a movies.js file that manage the endpoints to get movies data.
Regarding MongoDB, we provide a template module in the src/mongodb.js. To use your own MongoDB instance, replace the URI constant by your own.
You can add live reload if you want by using library like nodemon or node-livereload.
For more specific project, you can add a configuration file.
