This is a basic backend project, primarily designed for testing purposes. Please note that much of the codebase is not suitable for production use. If you're looking for a production-ready backend, consider other alternatives or ensure that you refactor and test the code thoroughly before deploying.

This backend is for testing purposes only. It's crucial to understand that it's not optimized or secured for production use.

I will not be using any boilerplate and I will be limiting my use on third-party wrappers. Instead, opting to create my own.

• Ensure you have Node.js installed.
• This project uses the yarn package manager. If you don't have it installed, you can get it here.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dantekelly/simple-backend.git
   cd simple-backend

2. Install dependencies:

   yarn install

3. Run the server in development mode:

   yarn dev

   This will start the server on port 5050.

• Test the server:

  yarn test

• Build the server:

  yarn build

• The server runs on port 5050. Ensure that this port is available on your machine or modify the configuration to use a different port.
