now-deno-demo

Very simple BBS written in Deno, running on Zeit Now.

Architecture

• Runs on Zeit Now, which means each endpoint runs as a serverless function.
• Written in Deno.
• Stores the data in Postgres DB.
• Single Page App, written in vanilla JS.

How to run this demo

You need postgres DB instance to run this demo. You can get a free instance from generous database hosting services such as AWS RDS, ElephantSQL, etc.

You need Now and need to set the following information in now secrets

now secrets add pguser <The postgres user name>
now secrets add pgpassword <The postgres user name>
now secrets add pghost <The postgres db hostname>
now secrets add pgdatabase <The postgres databasename>
now secrets add pgport <The postgres port>

You need to create a database in your postgres DB:

CREATE DATABASE bbs ENCODING 'UTF-8';

You need to create the following table:

CREATE TABLE posts(
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(255),
  body TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);

I recommend you insert some of rows before starting:

INSERT INTO posts (name, body) VALUES ('alice', 'hi');
INSERT INTO posts (name, body) VALUES ('alice', 'anyone here?');
INSERT INTO posts (name, body) VALUES ('bob', 'hey');
INSERT INTO posts (name, body) VALUES ('bob', 'anyone?');

Then hit the command now and that should run this app in your now account.
