Working on the new api
Connecting to local database
The api uses the ORM Prisma and it needs the MongoDB instance to be a replica set.
Atlas
If you use MongoDB Atlas, the set is managed for you.
Local
The simplest way to run a replica set locally is to use the docker-compose file in /tools.
cd tools
docker compose up -d
Once that's running, update the connection string in the .env file to use port 27018.
# Database
MONGOHQ_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27018/freecodecamp?directConnection=true
The new db will be empty, so you can run the seed script to populate it.
cd ../.. # back to the root of the repo
pnpm seed
Login in development/testing
During development and testing, the api exposes the endpoint GET auth/dev-callback. Calling this will log you in as the user with the email foo@bar.com by setting the session cookie for that user.
