After checking out this repo:
npm i
Then, make a copy of the .env.example file as .env
Then, make a copy of the .env.example file as .env.test
Update the .env.test file to contain the line:
PATH_TO_JSON_DIR=./fake-database-testing
This makes the testing env point to a different folder when running tests.
We are using typescript, so we need to bundle the code first and then run it.
npm run build && npm run start
All endpoints and operations are tested. To run the tests you can:
npm run test
A database reset command is implemented which will copy over the original fixtures of the fake database over into the main files.
npm run reset-dev-db
