Rideshare backend

Cab sharing platform made with Deno, Express, and PostgreSQL.

Running

1. Make a .env file from the example:

cp .env.example .env

Note: If you're running drizzle-kit outside docker, change this to localhost

2. Aquire the service account private key through Google cloud console:

   • https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts, create a project if not already created
   • Then go to: Actions > Manage Keys > Add Key
   • Download the JSON file
   • Put it in the notifications folder and point its path to GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS relative to this folder

3. Use Docker to run the watcher

docker compose --profile dev up --build --watch

4. To migrate the database, run

docker compose exec web-dev deno run db migrate

Database

The schema is located in src/db/schema/tables.ts. The database is managed using Drizzle ORM.

• To generate migration files, run:

deno run db generate

Note: When running db commands outside of Docker, you may need to set the PGHOST environment variable to localhost.

• To apply migrations, run:

deno run db migrate
