In this set of articles, you'll learn the core fundamentals of Danet. To get familiar with the essential building blocks of Danet applications, we'll build a basic CRUD application with features that cover a lot of ground at an introductory level.

Prerequisites ​

Please make sure that Deno (version >= Install v1.24.3) is installed on your operating system.

Setup ​

The easiest way to set up a Danet project is by using our Danet CLI

$ deno install --allow-read --allow-write --allow-run --allow-env -n danet https://deno.land/x/danet_cli/main.ts
$ danet new my-danet-project
$ cd my-danet-project

The app is a TODO CRUD API with either MongoDB, Postgres or In-Memory database depending on what you choose when executing danet new command !

Using MongoDB or Postgres ​

To run the app, you need a database server running one or the other. We assume you know how to do that.

Then, you have to add your server's information somewhere so Danet can access these information to connect to the server.

You have 2 ways of doing so :

Environment variables ​

Add the following variables:

DB_NAME= DB_HOST= DB_PORT DB_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD=

Dotenv ​

Danet has built-in dotenv support (because Deno support it natively), so you can create a .env file at your project's root the same variables :

DB_NAME=
DB_HOST=
DB_PORT
DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD=

Running the application ​

Once the installation process is complete, you can run the following command at your OS command prompt to start the application listening for inbound HTTP requests:

$ deno task launch-server
