Initiating Project

Just before initiating project make sure you meet these requirements

• node ^12.20.0 installed
• yarn or npm package manager installed but i prefer yarn
• docker installed on your desktop or server

Then go and run in terminal

1. docker-compose build to build up all images and attache them to containers
2. docker-compose up to run all 4 containers (node app, mongo, postgress and postgress admin)

just those command will make app stand but there are also other usefull commands

• yarn build to build app from typescript to js app
• yarn debug to run app in debug mode
• yarn dev to start app in development mode
• yarn start to start app in production mode

Something which may be missing up there is initiating database and tables based on prisma models then run npx prisma migrate dev --name "init" --preview-feature to create database models and create tables
