Node Authentication API

This is a Node.js server application serving as a REST API with authentication, built using TypeScript, Docker, and MongoDB. It's structured to provide a robust development environment with hot reloading and an efficient production setup.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker (https://www.docker.com/)
• Docker Compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
• Node.js (https://nodejs.org/)
• Yarn (https://yarnpkg.com/) (Optional, but preferred)

Getting Started

To get the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes, follow these steps.

Clone the Repository

To clone the repository and navigate into the directory, execute: git clone [email protected]:Devin-GPT/node-auth.git cd node-auth

Development Environment Setup

1. Start the Application: Using Docker Compose, build and start the services by running: docker-compose up --build This command builds the Docker image for the application and starts the services defined in the docker-compose.yml file, including the MongoDB database and the Node.js application with hot reloading enabled.

2. Access the Application: Once the services are up and running, you can access the API at http://localhost:3330.

3. Making Changes: Any changes made to the TypeScript files in the src directory will be automatically detected by Nodemon, and the application will be recompiled and restarted in the Docker container.

Production Environment

For deploying the application in a production environment, ensure you modify the Dockerfile and scripts to align with production best practices.

Running Tests
