transfers Microservice API

Using Clean Architecture for Microservice APIs in Node.js with MongoDB and Express

In this approach I will demonstrate the use of Bob Martin's Clean Architecture model and I will show you how we can apply it to a Microservice built in node.js with MongoDB and Express JS.

Running Locally

Prerequisites

• Node JS
• Mongo DB (To use the Mongo DB interface you need to install Mongo Compass, or have access to cloud.mongodb.com)

1. Clone the repo and install dependencies

git clone
cd money-pal-api
npm i

2. Modify the .env file

Save sampledotenv as .env and then add your database details.

3. Connect your MongoDB

Usually this is Running in a cluster inside MongoDB Atlas provider. If you set up the .env file correctly you don't need to do nothing here.

4. Start the server

To run in production mode where code is transpiled by Babel into a dist folder and run directly in node:

npm start

To run in development mode where code is run by babel-node via nodemon and re-transpiled any time there is a change:

npm run dev

To run tests:

npm run test

To run only e2e tests:

npm run test:e2e
