Demonstrates using TypeORM with PostgreSQL in a Node app. It does not demonstrate creating the web app itself, except for a comment in the src/index.ts file showing where the app's "main" code would go. This example's purpose is to show how to set up a declarative development environment where team members (or you, in the future) would not need to run manual SQL commands for the local development database to match. Instead, the dbseed task (implemented as a TypeScript file compiled and executed by the build NPM task), takes care of ensuring the running database has the required SQL schema and that it is populated with test data.

• Node 9.x+
• Docker and docker-compose

There are three models in this example:

• Doctor
• Patient
• Appointment (junction model between Doctor and Patient)

1. Run npm install to install local dependencies.
2. Run docker-compose up -d to create and start the required Docker containers for the PostreSQL database. Adminer is used for an easy way to access the database. (I'm not a big fan of pgAdmin4.)
3. Run npm run build to compile the code, including tasks.
4. Run npm run dbseed to insert the seed data into the running PostgreSQL database. Note that since the task is coded in TypeScript, it must be compiled first. Therefore, this npm script runs the build npm script first before running the dbseed task.

These steps assume you have the docker-compose stack running.

1. Run npm run build to compile the source code.
2. Run npm start to start the app.

1. Run npm run dbseed to compile the source code and insert the seed data into the running PostgreSQL database.
2. Run npm start to start the app.
