# Runnig NestJs in a Docker Container

This is a [Nest Js](https://github.com/nestjs/nest) project configured for use with Docker

## Installation

```bash
$ npm install
```
Ensure also that [Docker is installed](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install) on your work station

## Running the app using node server (the normal way)

```bash
# development
$ npm run start:dev
or
nest start

# Debug/watch
$ npm run start:debug

# production
$ npm run build:prod
$ npm start
```

## Setting up the app for use with Docker
1. Add Dockerfile
2. Add docker-compose.yml
3. Add unnecessary files to .gitignore
4. Add .dockerignore and include the unnecessary files
5. Add nodemon-docker-debug.json
6. Add ```"debug": "nodemon -L --config nodemon-docker-debug.json"``` script to package.json
7. Configure VS Code for [debugging the node js app with a container](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/containers/debug-node)

## Using Docker
```sh
# Build the image
$ docker build -t docker-nest-js:v1.0 .

# Run the image interactively
$ docker run -it -p 3000:3000 docker-nest-js:v1.0
```

## Using Docker Compose
```sh
# Build the docker image
$ docker-compose build

# Start and login to the container
$ docker-compose up -d
$ docker-compose exec app sh
```

## Other useful Docker commands
```sh
# Get the container ID
$ docker ps

# View logs
$ docker logs <container id>

# Enter the container (In alpine, use sh because bash is not installed by default)
$ docker exec -it <container id> /bin/sh
```

## Testing

```bash
# unit tests
$ npm run test

# e2e tests
$ npm run test:e2e

# test coverage
$ npm run test:cov
```
