Create Alchemy SQL BE

Getting started

1. Change all the files in the data directory to match the data model of your app.
2. Run heroku create
3. Run npm run setup-heroku to create a heroku SQL database in the cloud to go with your heroku app.
4. Run heroku config:get DATABASE_URL to get your heroku sql database url from the cloud. Put this in your .env file, under DATABASE_URL
5. Run npm run setup-db
6. Run npm run start:watch to start the dev server
7. Routes are in app.js, not in server.js. This is so our tests will not launch a server every time.

Adding auth routes and protecting routes:

At the top of app.js:

// Auth
const ensureAuth = require('./lib/auth/ensure-auth');
const createAuthRoutes = require('./lib/auth/create-auth-routes');

const authRoutes = createAuthRoutes();


// setup authentication routes to give user an auth token
// creates a /auth/signin and a /auth/signup POST route. 
// each requires a POST body with a .email and a .password
app.use('/auth', authRoutes);

// everything that starts with "/api" below here requires an auth token!
app.use('/api', ensureAuth);

// and now every request that has a token in the Authorization header will have a `req.userId` property for us to see who's talking
app.get('/api/test', (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        message: `in this proctected route, we get the user's id like so: ${req.userId}`
    });
});

HARD MODE: Override default queries

// OPTIONALLY pass in new queries to override defaults

const authRoutes = createAuthRoutes({
    selectUser(email) {
        return client.query(`
            SELECT id, email, hash
            FROM users
            WHERE email = $1;
        `,
        [email]
        ).then(result => result.rows[0]);
    },
    insertUser(user, hash) {
        console.log(user);
        return client.query(`
            INSERT into users (email, hash)
            VALUES ($1, $2)
            RETURNING id, email;
        `,
        [user.email, hash]
        ).then(result => result.rows[0]);
    }
});
