My First REST API

In this tutorial you will learn how to expose a simple RESTfull API using Fastify, the emergent NodeJS Web Framework, in a ForrestJS App.

Install the Dependencies

In this toutorial we will use the following ForrestJS libraries:

npm add @forrestjs/core

npm add @forrestjs/service-fastify-healthz

We will also connect to a PostgreSQL database using the library pg:

npm add pg
