Divio Cloud based boilerplate to develop with Express JS.
Up to date with Express 4.18.1.
The project files have been generated using express-generator.
An example database connection has been added to myapp/app.js from the Express
guides.
This boilerplate installs node_modules into the root of the Docker container.
To work seamless locally, you need to run docker-compose using the correct prefix:
docker-compose run --rm web npm install jquery --save --prefix /
And to save it to your projects directory:
docker-compose run --rm web npm install jquery --save
Otherwise you might run into unexpected issues as the node_modules folder is in the root
of the container and your project directory. Alternatively delete the node_modules folder
from the root of the container while working locally.
We are using nodemon locally to monitor changes and restart the server automatically.
The boilerplate uses pg-promise to talk to the database. A good example of the usage can be found here.
