A simple yet robust, flexible, loose coupled API built with TDD and Clean Architecture.
Project built to give readers a practical example of TDD and Clean Architecture. The result of those principles applied together is a loose coupled API, easy to maintain and extend its behavior.
Currently, this API can only receive simple user data to create an account.
Despite the simple behavior, there is a solid structure applied to it, which leaves the door open to any system be built upon this one, regardless of framework implementations. To exemplify this scenario, although I chose MongoDB for data persistence, you can easily switch to any database of your choice.
This freedom of change and choice is crucial for critical enterprise applications.
You'll need a valid MongoDB connection URL, or a locally running instance. If you have a
remote instance, just provide the connection URI via the MONGO_URL environment variable
when executing the project.
If you want to run a local instance of MongoDB, you can easily do so via docker:
docker run --name mongodb -p 27017:27017 -d mongo. With the container up and running, the
API will be able to automatically connect to it. No further actions are necessary.
After that, just install the project dependencies with yarn or npm, then run the start script with
yarn run start or npm run start. The server will be available at http://localhost:8080.
To change the default server port, either provide the PORT environment variable, or
change the src/main/config/env.ts file.
This project features 100% test coverage. To run unit tests, execute the test:unit script
with yarn or npm. To run integration tests, execute the test:integration script. If you want
to run all tests at once, just run the test script.
