express-prisma-boilerplate

Following is an expressjs rest API boilerplate with prisma as ORM. To test locally, create a .env file at the root directory and declare an environment variable DATABASE_URL as the following format DATABASE_TYPE://USERNAME:PASSWORD@DATABASE_URL:DATABASE_PORT/DATABASE_NAME. Then, run the following commands,

npx prisma generate
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
npx prisma db seed

Now, to start the dev server type npm run dev or yarn dev and the server will start listening at port 3000.

test using docker

If you don't want to set up DB locally then you can use docker to test the API. Just type docker compose up on the CLI and you're server will start listening on port 3000 in no time :)
