How to use this template

Without using em-microservice

If you're cloning this template directly from git, please make sure you prepare your project by ensuring the following: Please use node v10.16 (LTS) to avoid compatibility issues.

Prepare project

Create your .env file by running cp .env-dist .env.
Create logs directory at the root of the project mkdir logs.
Run npm run install.

If you are using em-microservice (RECOMMENDED) skip the previous section, since the package takes care of preparing the project.

Set Up microservices local environment

To be able to register our project as a microservice we need to have 2 pieces running before we run the project itself: 1. Start the service registry by running eureka server, this can be done by running npm run eureka. You can verify that eureka is running by entering this address in your browser: http://localhost:8080/eureka/ 2. Load the configuration files initiating our fake config server npm run fake-config-server-start, the fake files are included in the folder resources/fake-routes at the root of the project.

Run the project and register to eureka

Just run npm run local and refresh the eureka page once, you should be able to see the application registered under "Instances currently registered with Eureka"
