The Don Mamino API is a Node.js/Express application backed by MySQL. Follow the steps below to get a local instance running on your machine in under ten minutes.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure the following are installed:
You can verify your versions with node -v and mysql --version before proceeding.

​
Setup steps

1

Clone the repository

Clone the project from GitHub and move into the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/luisllatas-dev/Proyecto_Pasteleria_DonMamino.git
cd Proyecto_Pasteleria_DonMamino
2

Install dependencies

Install all required npm packages.
npm install
This installs express, mysql2, jsonwebtoken, bcryptjs, dotenv, cors, and the nodemon dev dependency.
3

Create the database and run the schema

Connect to your MySQL instance and execute the schema file to create the don_mamino_db database and all tables.
mysql -u root -p < database/schema.sql
The schema creates the database automatically with CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS don_mamino_db, so you do not need to create it manually beforehand.
4

Create the .env file

Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables. Replace the placeholder values with your actual MySQL credentials and a secure secret string for JWT signing.
.env
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=your_mysql_password
DB_NAME=don_mamino_db
DB_PORT=3306
JWT_SECRET=your_super_secret_key
Never commit your .env file to version control. Add it to .gitignore if it is not already there.
VariableDescription
DB_HOSTHostname of your MySQL server
DB_USERMySQL user with access to don_mamino_db
DB_PASSWORDPassword for the MySQL user
DB_NAMEDatabase name (don_mamino_db)
DB_PORTMySQL port (default: 3306)
JWT_SECRETSecret key used to sign and verify JWT tokens
5

Start the server

Choose between development mode (auto-restarts on file changes) or production mode.
npm run dev
When the server starts successfully, you will see:
Servidor corriendo en http://localhost:3000
✅ Conexión a la base de datos MySQL (don_mamino_db) establecida correctamente.
Use npm run dev during development. It uses nodemon to watch for file changes and restart the server automatically.

​
Verify the setup

Once the server is running, confirm it is healthy with a request to the health endpoint. 
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
Expected response: 
{ "status": "ok" }
A 200 OK response confirms the server is up and connected to the database. You are now ready to make authenticated API requests.
