Since the deno and it's modules are not stable yet, breaking changes could happen to this project!

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies (frontend)
3. Set env variables
4. Create database

git clone https://github.com/tamasszoke/deno-seed.git

Run npm install at the frontend folder

Create .env.development and .env.production files inside frontend/ folder.

Use port 3002 for development and port 80 for production.

Example (include all of these):

HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=3002
REACT_APP_PROTOCOL=http
REACT_APP_HOST=localhost
REACT_APP_PORT=5000
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true

Located at frontend/.env.development.

Note: if you change the ports change them in the dockerfiles too (root, backend).

Create .env.test, .env.development and .env.production files inside backend/.env/ folder.

Use port 5000 for test, development and port 80 for production.

Example (include all of these):

APP_NAME=Deno Seed
IP=0.0.0.0
HOST=localhost
PORT=5000
PROTOCOL=http
CLIENT_PROTOCOL=http
CLIENT_HOST=localhost
CLIENT_PORT=3002
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PORT=6379
DB_HOST=[MLAB_DB_URL]
DB_NAME=[MLAB_BD_NAME]
DB_USER=[MLAB_DB_USERNAME]
DB_PASS=[MLAB_DB_PASSWORD]
EMAIL_ADDRESS=[GMAIL_ADDRESS]
EMAIL_PASS=[GMAIL_PASSWORD]

Located at backend/.env/.env.development.

Note: if you change the ports change them in the dockerfiles too (root, backend).

Create MongoDB with a collection called users.

I've used the free service provided by mLab.

Note: use the following commands at the root folder.

1. Start docker-compose -f docker-compose.development.yml up
2. Go to http://localhost:5000 in browser for server
3. Go to http://localhost:3002 in browser for client

1. Run sh build.sh
2. Start docker-compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
3. Go to http://localhost:80 in browser

Note: run npm rebuild node-sass inside the client container if asked.

Using separated docker-compose files for development and production.

Start: docker-compose -f docker-compose.development.yml up
Stop: docker-compose -f docker-compose.development.yml down

Start: docker-compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up
Stop: docker-compose -f docker-compose.production.yml down

Note: don't forget to start your redis server or it will fallback to use the memory for the sessions.

1. Start sh dev.sh at the root folder (or manually start the denon scripts)
2. Go to http://localhost:5000 (backend)
3. Go to http://localhost:3002 (frontend)

1. Run sh build.sh at the root folder
2. Run denon prod at the build folder
3. Go to http://localhost:80

Note: you may need to install Denon.

Using typescript .ts files and the built-in formatter for deno.

Using the built-in testing library and Superoak with integration tests only, because of the higher ROI. The integration tests will cover the basic functions of the application, you can find them in the backend/app.test.ts.

Using .env files to set up the basics with the dotenv third party module. The main variable is the ENV which can be development or production. This will search for the correct env file to use in the backend/src/config/services/settings.ts, defaults to test.

The middleware framework is the Oak library along with the Cors module to avoid CORS problems.

The session handled by the third party module, Session, it adds a middleware to the application, so we can get the session variables from any route by using context.session.

The database is MongoDB using the Mongo (deno_mongo) module. Created a reusable class which is connecting to the database only once, and using that connection for the future queries. Validating the user schema with the Validasaur module.

Using the built-in logger, created two main types, the default and the test, which is only logging critical levels, to hide debug logs during the tests.

The passwords are hashed with salt (different for every user), using the Bcrypt library.

The routing is in the following format: api/service/type/action For example, to login, use: api/auth/local/login

Using Denon, the scripts are format, test, start, prod.

Unfortunately some packages are not refreshing their releases actively (or not published any), so I had to use the master branch of them.
