standardized-skills-api

This codebase provides CRUD APIs over the PostgreSQL database containing standardized skills and its associations with members, challenges and jobs. It also provides a type-ahead API for suggestion of probable skills with each input.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v22+
• pnpm (enable via corepack enable pnpm if you use Node's bundled Corepack)

Local deployment

• Run pnpm install
• Run pnpm prisma:generate to emit the Prisma client
• Run pnpm prisma:migrate:deploy to apply the latest database schema
• Run the docker compose file under ./local directory with docker-compose up -d
• Set env variable (using export, or create an .env file) for TC_SKILLS_DATABASE_URL=<AWS DEV DB URL FOR SKILLS>
• Set env variable for CHALLENGE_API_DATABASE_URL=<AWS DEV DB URL FOR CHALLENGE API> so challenge skills can be synchronized directly in the challenge service database
• Set env variable for MEMBER_DB_URL=<AWS DEV DB URL FOR MEMBERS> so member validations run directly against the member database (MEMBER_DB_SCHEMA, MEMBER_DB_TABLE, and MEMBER_DB_ID_COLUMN can be provided when the defaults do not apply)
• Connect to VPN
• Autocomplete endpoints now query PostgreSQL directly; OpenSearch is no longer required
• Start the API with pnpm run start:dev for watch mode or pnpm run start after running pnpm run build

Setup local database

• Run pnpm prisma:migrate:deploy to apply schema changes to your database
• Run pnpm prisma:studio if you want to inspect data locally

Verification

• Run the postman collection under ./docs/postman
