NodeJS API for KTU social media app. Major dependencies:

 Express
 
 ts-node

 For authentication/sessions, Jwt

 PostgreSQL and TypeORM

 phantom for headless web browser for web scraping

In the future, I hope to;

• Make the codebase more readable, there are still some files where controllers have business logic
• Implement socket.io or a message broker like kafka
• Extend on role structure

To run the project, use docker-compose to get the database up and running, by executing

docker-compose up -d

In the project root. Then make sure your database is configured correctly;

docker exec -it postgres_db psql -U postgres -d ktu_sosyal

Or, make sure you're running a postgreSQL database on your local machine, then create an ormconfig.json file. Here's an example below:

{
  "type": "postgres",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 5432,
  "username": "postgres",
  "password": "<YOUR PASSWORD>",
  "database": "<YOUR DATABASE NAME>",
  "synchronize": true,
  "entities": ["src/entities/**/*.ts", "dist/entities/**/*.js"]
}

Then, run

npm install

npm run start

and the API should be up and running.
