Backend for Time tracker app using:

• NodeJS (Typescript), Express
• MongoDB, Mongoose ODM
• Swagger for API doc
• Jest for unit testing and integration testing
• Docker configuration
• Send email using Nodemailer and Handlebars
• Validation schema, rules using Joi
• File upload using Multer and Sharp
• JWT authentication using Passport

Steps to run:

1. Create env files and set env vars as necessary (eg. DB_CON_STR)
   • Copy .env.test.local to .env.local.
   • Copy .env.test.production to .env.production
2. Run npm install command
3. To run project locally using nodemon: npm run dev
4. To run all unit and integration tests in watch mode: npm run test:watch
5. To run only unit tests: npm run test:unit
6. To run only integration tests: npm run test:int

Docker execution:

1. Dev mode: docker-compose --env-file .env.local up -d

2. Production mode: docker-compose --env-file .env.production up -d

Services are defined in docker-compose.yml file, which retrieves dynamic vars eg. ENVIRONMENT, DOCKER_FILENAME, PORT from the respective env files. Dockerfile uses multi-stage build:

• Stage 1: Install dependencies and dev depencies, run unit & integration tests and finally create a build (TS converted to JS).

• Stage 2: Install only the required dependencies (not dev dependencies) and copy build code generated in previous stage. Finally start the application using npm start command.
