Make API REST on node.js

Install pixelrest with npm :
npm install --save pixelrest

Generate a project pixelrest :
pixelrest-new

Set your node projet in ES module mode, add following property to your package.json file :
"type": "module"

You should make a mysql/mariadb database(InnoDB)

Create file secret.js in app/config with your mysql server and database credentials.
Secret.js file example:

export const DB_CREDENTIALS = {
  DATABASE: 'mydatabase',
  HOST: 'localhost',
  PORT: 3306,
  USERNAME: 'root',
  PASSWORD: 'password'
};

export const JWT = {
  SECRET: 'mysecret',
  EXPIRES_IN: 14400
};

Prepare your database with the script prepareDatabase :
node ./app/scripts/prepareDatabase.js

Start your server :
nodemon ./main.js

Test your API REST with swagger :
http://localhost:1338/api-docs

Before testing documents service, don't forget to create documents directory in your projet

Never push secret.js on your git. You should add it to your gitignore!
