Configs
The first thing to do is get your configs set up. The database connection is all you really need. 
{
  "port": 3030, // api port
  "database": {
    "dialect": "mysql", 
    "user": "", // db username
    "password": "", // db password
    "host": "", // db host
    "database": "" // name of the database
  },
  "default_from_email": "[email protected]", // for emails!
  "sendgrid": "", // to send emails!
  "auth": {
    "allowed_origins": [], // an array of allowed origins like ["http://localhost:3000"]
    "issuer": "noco", // anything will do here
    "audience": "noco", // anything will do here for, 
    "expiresIn": 10000 // number of seconds the JWT is good for.
  },
  "s3": {
    "key": "",
    "secret": "",
    "bucket": "",
    "region": "",
    "s3ForcePathStyle": true,
    "signatureVersion": "v4",
    "endpoint": ""
  }
}
If you need a simple local mysql database you can use docker to quickly set one up. 
docker run -ti -p 3306:3306 \
-v $(PWD)/sql:/var/lib/mysql \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password \
mysql:5.7
You'll then need to use something like Sequel Pro to create a database to connect to. Let's say you create a data
Then your local configs could look something like this. 
  "database": {
    "dialect": "mysql", 
    "user": "root", 
    "password": "password", 
    "host": "0.0.0.0", 
    "database": "test" 
  },
 If you want to use another one of Sequelize's databases, you'll need to install the adapter yourself. Take a look at their docs https://sequelize.org/master/manual/getting-started.html​
Next up it's time to install the node modules 
npm i
After your node modules are installed, you can run npm run docsto generate your own API documentation. 
You're then ready to run your API with npm run dev
# Successful output of your api once you've set your configs
API on port 3030!
mysql connected
bootstrapped api key!
If you head over to http://localhost:3030 you should see your documentation. It will look something like this: 
your beautiful new docs!
