🚀📈 Streamline Your Frontend Development with node-morph-api

Frontend developers often struggle with setting up a full backend just to test UI interactions. If you're looking for a lightweight, dynamic backend solution that lets you focus on frontend development without wasting time on database and API setups, then node-morph-api is for you! 🚀

🔥 Why Use node-morph-api?

When building real-world frontend applications, you usually need to connect to a database, fetch, manipulate, and test data. However, setting up a backend from scratch—including database configurations, API endpoints, and security measures—takes significant time and effort.

node-morph-api solves this problem by providing:

Quick Database Connection – No need to define schemas manually. Just plug in your database credentials and start consuming data.
Dynamic API Endpoints – Access and manipulate database tables with RESTful calls.
Perfect for UI Testing – Skip backend development and focus purely on frontend workflows.
CRUD Operations ReadyGET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are fully supported.
Secure & Efficient – Built-in protections against SQL injection and other vulnerabilities.

🏗️ Setting Up Your Database

If you don’t have a database ready, you can quickly create one using the postgres-uuid-v7 Docker setup from this repo. It provides a ready-to-use PostgreSQL database container.

1️⃣ Run a PostgreSQL Database using the provided Docker setup.

2️⃣ Deploy node-morph-api and configure the database connection.

3️⃣ Start consuming your database via simple REST API calls.

🌎 Get Started Now

🚀 node-morph-api is available on GitHub.
