What Node backend could be like at the time

npm install

Initialize Node

# with yarn
yarn init
# with npm 
npm init

# with yarn
yarn add -D typescript
# with npm 
npm init -y
npm install -D typescript

npx tsc --init

Install packages

npm install argon2 config cookie-parser dotenv express jsonwebtoken lodash redis ts-node-dev zod cors

• dotenv – loads environment variables from a .env file into process.env
• argon2 – to hash the password data
• config – allow us to provide TypeScript types for the environment variables we import from the .env file
• cookie-parser – to parse the cookies in the request headers and attach them to req.cookies
• jsonwebtoken – to sign and verify JWTs
• lodash – contains utilities for simplifying common programming tasks.
• ts-node-dev – allow us run the server. An alternative solution is nodemon and ts-node

Install dev dependances

# npm
npm install -D morgan typescript
# yarn
yarn add -D morgan typescript

morgan HTTP request logger middleware

Install type definition files

# npm
npm install -D @types/config @types/cookie-parser @types/express @types/jsonwebtoken @types/lodash @types/morgan @types/node @types/cors
# yarn
yarn add -D @types/config @types/cookie-parser @types/express @types/jsonwebtoken @types/lodash @types/morgan @types/node @types/cors

Setting up prisma

tsconfig.json:

"lib": ["esnext"],

npm install prisma --save-dev

npx prisma init

Update .env file

DATABASE_URL="postgresql://yevgen:password@localhost:5433/testnextjs?schema=public"

Install prisma clien

npm install @prisma/client

Add script to package.json

"postinstall": "prisma generate",

At this point there was a problem of typescript compilation so after a day or two of suffering stopped doing the log
