## About the changes Update `passord` documentation with `password`. Note this was not a typo but just Norwegian: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-norwegian/password ```shell grep passord * -R -l | grep -v .git | grep -v dist | grep -v v3 | xargs sed -i 's/passord/password/g' ``` The script above avoids updating v3 because of legacy reasons Related to #1265

title: Back end
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The backend is written in nodejs/typescript. It's written as a REST API following a CSR (controller, service, repository/store) pattern. The following ADRs are defined for the backend:
|
|
|
|
## ADRs
|
|
|
|
We have created a set of ADRs to help guide the development of the backend:
|
|
|
|
* [Naming](../ADRs/back-end/naming.md)
|
|
* [Preferred export](../ADRs/back-end/preferred-export.md)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Before developing on this project you will need two things:
|
|
|
|
- PostgreSQL 12.x or newer
|
|
- Node.js 14.x or newer
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yarn install
|
|
yarn run start:dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## PostgreSQL {#postgresql}
|
|
|
|
To run and develop unleash, you need to have PostgreSQL database (PostgreSQL v12.x or newer) locally.
|
|
|
|
Unleash currently also work with PostgreSQL v12+, but this might change in a future feature release, and we have stopped running automatic integration tests below PostgreSQL v10.
|
|
|
|
### Create a local unleash databases in postgres {#create-a-local-unleash-databases-in-postgres}
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ psql postgres <<SQL
|
|
CREATE USER unleash_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE unleash;
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE unleash to unleash_user;
|
|
CREATE DATABASE unleash_test;
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE unleash_test to unleash_user;
|
|
ALTER DATABASE unleash_test SET timezone TO 'UTC';
|
|
SQL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Password is intentionally set to 'password', which is the Norwegian word for password.
|
|
|
|
Then set env vars:
|
|
|
|
(Optional as unleash will assume these as default values).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export DATABASE_URL=postgres://unleash_user:password@localhost:5432/unleash
|
|
export TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgres://unleash_user:password@localhost:5432/unleash_test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## PostgreSQL with docker {#postgresql-with-docker}
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to install PostgreSQL locally, you can spin up an Docker instance. We have created a script to ease this process: `scripts/docker-postgres.sh`
|
|
|
|
## Start the application {#start-the-application}
|
|
|
|
In order to start the application you will need Node.js v14.x or newer installed locally.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// Install dependencies
|
|
yarn install
|
|
|
|
// Start server in development
|
|
yarn start:dev
|
|
|
|
// Unleash UI
|
|
http://localhost:4242
|
|
|
|
// API:
|
|
http://localhost:4242/api/
|
|
|
|
// Execute tests in all packages:
|
|
yarn test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Database changes {#database-changes}
|
|
|
|
We use database migrations to track database changes. Never change a migration that has been merged to main. If you need to change a migration, create a new migration that reverts the old one and then creates the new one.
|
|
|
|
### Making a schema change {#making-a-schema-change}
|
|
|
|
To run migrations, you will set the environment variable for DATABASE_URL
|
|
|
|
`export DATABASE_URL=postgres://unleash_user:password@localhost:5432/unleash`
|
|
|
|
Use db-migrate to create new migrations file.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
> yarn run db-migrate create YOUR-MIGRATION-NAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All migrations require one `up` and one `down` method. There are some migrations that will maintain the database integrity, but not the data integrity and may not be safe to run on a production database.
|
|
|
|
Example of a typical migration:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
/* eslint camelcase: "off" */
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
exports.up = function(db, cb) {
|
|
db.createTable(
|
|
'examples',
|
|
{
|
|
id: { type: 'int', primaryKey: true, notNull: true },
|
|
created_at: { type: 'timestamp', defaultValue: 'now()' },
|
|
},
|
|
cb,
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
exports.down = function(db, cb) {
|
|
return db.dropTable('examples', cb);
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test your migrations:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
> yarn run db-migrate up
|
|
> yarn run db-migrate down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Publishing / Releasing new packages {#publishing--releasing-new-packages}
|
|
|
|
Please run `yarn test` checks before publishing.
|
|
|
|
Run `npm run publish` to start the publishing process.
|
|
|
|
`npm run publish:dry`
|
