Refactoring-Kata-Lift-Pass-Pricing
A refactoring kata where you'll practice disentangling business logic from frameworks and SQL
This is a coding exercise that captures real-life software complexity (HTTP requests, database calls, external data…), without adding too much noise. I really like to use it to practice tools and techniques for refactoring legacy code.

Refactoring-Kata-Lift-Pass-Pricing
A refactoring kata where you'll practice disentangling business logic from frameworks and SQL (by nicoespeon)
The very first step is to run a tool like Prettier to standardize the shape of the code. No more noise in follow-up changes: rbd-1-prettier

testcontainers-node
Testcontainers is a NodeJS library that supports tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.
testcontainers to set up the database and get it to run in the tests (it’s based on Docker)

supertest
Discontinued 🕷 Super-agent driven library for testing node.js HTTP servers using a fluent API. Maintained for @forwardemail, @ladjs, @spamscanner, @breejs, @cabinjs, and @lassjs. [Moved to: https://github.com/ladjs/supertest] (by visionmedia)
🤖 You can use the Mocha testing framework with the Chai assertion library to write tests for your Express controller. You can also use the Sinon library to mock the database calls. This will allow you to test the controller without actually making a call to the database. You can also use the SuperTest library to make HTTP requests to the controller and test the response.

Sequelize
Feature-rich ORM for modern Node.js and TypeScript, it supports PostgreSQL (with JSON and JSONB support), MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Oracle DB (v6), DB2 and DB2 for IBM i.
🤖 If you don't want to mock the database calls, you could use a library like Sequelize to set up the database and run it in tests. Sequelize is an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) library that allows you to define models and perform database operations. You can use it to create a test database and run tests against it. For example, you could create a test database with the following code:
