๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ“ˆ Streamline Your Frontend Development with node-morph-api

Frontend developers often struggle with setting up a full backend just to test UI interactions. If you're looking for a lightweight, dynamic backend solution that lets you focus on frontend development without wasting time on database and API setups, then node-morph-api is for you! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ”ฅ Why Use node-morph-api?

When building real-world frontend applications, you usually need to connect to a database, fetch, manipulate, and test data. However, setting up a backend from scratchโ€”including database configurations, API endpoints, and security measuresโ€”takes significant time and effort.

node-morph-api solves this problem by providing:

โœ… Quick Database Connection โ€“ No need to define schemas manually. Just plug in your database credentials and start consuming data.
โœ… Dynamic API Endpoints โ€“ Access and manipulate database tables with RESTful calls.
โœ… Perfect for UI Testing โ€“ Skip backend development and focus purely on frontend workflows.
โœ… CRUD Operations Ready โ€“ GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are fully supported.
โœ… Secure & Efficient โ€“ Built-in protections against SQL injection and other vulnerabilities.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Setting Up Your Database

If you donโ€™t have a database ready, you can quickly create one using the postgres-uuid-v7 Docker setup from this repo. It provides a ready-to-use PostgreSQL database container.

1๏ธโƒฃ Run a PostgreSQL Database using the provided Docker setup.

2๏ธโƒฃ Deploy node-morph-api and configure the database connection.

3๏ธโƒฃ Start consuming your database via simple REST API calls.
