I have made this custom API with NodeJS, TypeScript, Express, Mongo (Atlas) and Prisma.
This will be a demo API with working functionality. This is deployed on Render, it has limited compute hours so please do not abuse this external API URL.
If you would like to play with the code, please feel free to clone this repo and do with it to your hearts content.
Start by running either yarn install or npm install(or any other package manager you may use).
To run the server, please use yarn dev or npm run dev.
Any changes made to the prisma.schema file, please remember to run: npx prisma generate and npx prisma db push.
I am using environment variables to protect my Mongo database. To use this please create a .env file in the project root and add the following:
DATABASE_URL: Your database URL. If you use anything other than Mongo, please also update the prisma.schema file to match.
PORT: Your port of choice. I typically use 1337.
When using this APIs external URL, please allow time for it to spin up (up to 50s) as the server will spin down if there is any inactivity.
