fruit-app-nodejs

Description

This is a Red Hat OpenShift Data Access demo that is built with Node JS to demonstrate the Service Binding feature that is available in OpenShift. The application is built with a set endpoints over REST. It's aalso a great way to find out how to avoid Scurvy.

What technology do we use?

• Node JS to buid the REST endpoints
• Connection pool to connect to PostgreSQL
• docker to start up a PostgreSQL database system

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Node JS
• OpenShift (not available yet)

Commands to run currently:

1. install all necessary node components

• npm i

2. start a PostgreSQL database system using docker images

• docker-compose -f docker-compose up

3. login to your PostgreSQL database system

• docker exec -t pg_container bash

4. insert fruits into you PostgreSQL database

• INSERT INTO fruit(id, name) VALUES ('1', 'Cherry');
• INSERT INTO fruit(id, name) VALUES ('2', 'Apple');
• INSERT INTO fruit(id, name) VALUES ('3', 'Banana');

5. start up your server (should launch website)

• node server.js

next steps:

1. connect index.html with queries.js
2. add OpenShift connectivity
3. add Cyber Ark connectivity to keep secrets encrypted
