- Node.js v12 or higher, Yarn package manager
- Local or remote instance of PostgreSQL (see Postgres.app, Google Cloud SQL)
- VS Code editor with recommended extensions
Just clone the repo and run yarn setup
followed by yarn start
:
$ git clone --origin=upstream --branch=main --single-branch --depth=0 \
https://github.com/kriasoft/nodejs-api-starter.git example
$ cd ./example # Change current directory to the newly created one
$ yarn setup # Configure environment variables
$ yarn start # Launch Node.js API and web application
The API server must become available at http://localhost:8080/graphql.
The web application front-end must become available at http://localhost:3000/.

In the case when you kept the original Node.js Starter Kit git history, you can always pull and merge updates from the "upstream" repository back into your project by running:
$ git fetch upstream # Fetch Node.js Starter Kit (upstream) repository
$ git checkout main # Switch to the main branch (or, master branch)
$ git merge upstream/main # Merge upstream/master into the local branch
In order to update Yarn and other dependencies to the latest versions, run:
$ yarn set version latest # Upgrade Yarn CLI to the latest version
$ yarn upgrade-interactive # Bump Node.js dependencies using an interactive mode
$ yarn install # Install the updated Node.js dependencies
$ yarn pnpify --sdk vscode # Update VSCode settings
