Quick Start

The easiest way to get started with Express Sweet is to install express-sweet-generator and automatically create a template application.
The following application can be started immediately by executing the template.
See here for instructions on using express-sweet.

1. Use the application generator tool, express-sweet-generator, to quickly create an application skeleton.

   npm install -g express-sweet-generator
   

2. Create an Express myapp named myapp.
   The app is created in a folder named myapp in the working directory.

   express-sweet myapp
   # If you want to use ESM, below.
   #express-sweet -o esm myapp
   

3. Install dependent packages.

   cd myapp
   npm install
   

4. This sample application uses a database. Execute the following SQL to create the database.

   CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `sampledb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
   
   USE `sampledb`;
   
   CREATE TABLE `user` (
     `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     `name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
     `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
     `password` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
     `icon` varchar(768) NOT NULL DEFAULT MD5(RAND()),
     `created` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
     `modified` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(),
     PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
     UNIQUE KEY `ukUserEmail` (`email`),
     UNIQUE KEY `ukUserIcon`(`icon`)
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
   
   CREATE TABLE `profile` (
     `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     `userId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
     `address` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
     `tel` varchar(14) NOT NULL,
     `created` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
     `modified` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(),
     PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
     UNIQUE KEY `ukProfileUserId` (`userId`),
     CONSTRAINT `fkProfileUser` FOREIGN KEY (`userId`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`)
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
   
   CREATE TABLE `comment` (
     `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     `userId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
     `text` text NOT NULL,
     `created` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
     `modified` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(),
     PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
     CONSTRAINT `fkCommentUser` FOREIGN KEY (`userId`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`)
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
   
   CREATE TABLE `book` (
     `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
     `userId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
     `title` text NOT NULL,
     `created` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
     `modified` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(),
     PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
     UNIQUE KEY `ukBookTitle` (`userId`, `title`(255)),
     CONSTRAINT `fkBookUser` FOREIGN KEY (`userId`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`)
   ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
   
   INSERT INTO `user` (`id`, `email`, `password`, `name`, `icon`) VALUES
     (1, '[e-mail]', 'password', 'Robin', '/upload/1.png'),
     (2, '[e-mail]', 'password', 'Taylor', '/upload/2.png');
   INSERT INTO `profile` (`userId`, `address`, `tel`) VALUES
     (1, '777 Brockton Avenue, Abington MA 2351', '202-555-0105'),
     (2, '30 Memorial Drive, Avon MA 2322', '');
   INSERT INTO `comment` (`userId`, `text`) VALUES
     (1, 'From Robin #1'),
     (1, 'From Robin #2'),
     (2, 'From Taylor #1');
   INSERT INTO `book` (`userId`, `title`) VALUES
     (1, 'Beautiful'),
     (1, 'Lose Yourself'),
     (2, 'When Im Gone');
   

5. Build front-end JS.

   cd myapp/client
   npm install
   npm run build
   

6. Next, you need to set how the database is connected.
   The database connection method can be set in config/database.js, so change it according to your environment.
   See here for details.

   // For ESM, use "export default".
   //export default {
   module.exports = {
     development: {
       username: 'root',
       password: 'password',
       database: 'sampledb',
       host: 'localhost',
       dialect: 'mariadb'
     },
     test: {
       username: 'root',
       password: 'password',
       database: 'sampledb',
       host: 'localhost',
       dialect: 'mariadb'
     },
     production: {
       username: 'root',
       password: 'password',
       database: 'sampledb',
       host: 'localhost',
       dialect: 'mariadb'
     }
   }
   

7. The DB to be used can be defined individually for each environment. Specify the environment in the .env file.

   NODE_ENV=development
   

8. Launch the application.

   cd myapp
   npm start
