TL;DR: nodal-react-splash

Command Line

//TL;DR: Nodal API server, with users joined to their tweets data
//Make sure you have postgres running. If not, I like postgresapp.com as the fastest way to get set up
//I use Postman to test API endpoints, but you can use whatever you want.
$ npm install -g nodal
$ nodal new tldr-instatweet-api
$ cd tldr-api
$ nodal s
$ nodal g:model Tweet user_id:int body:string
$ nodal g:controller v1 --for Tweets
$ nodal db:create
$ nodal db:prepare
$ nodal db:migrate

//Check your /v1/tweets endpoints with some POSTs and GETs
//Request data is expected as x-www-form-urlencoded

$ nodal g:model --user
$ nodal g:controller v1 --for Users
$ nodal db:migrate

//Check your /v1/users/ endpoint by adding some new users.
//After you join your tweets and users, check your tweets endpoint

controller.js

//Add your joined table into your query composer in your tweet controller.
//Define your tweet response interface!
index() {
  
  Tweet.query()
    .join('user') // joined into Composer
    .where(this.params)
    .end((err, models) => {

    this.respond(err || models, ['id','body','created_at', {user: ['username','email','created_at']}]); //set response interface

  })
}

model.js

//Explicitly require the model you want to join
//Join your users to tweets; always bottom up. The child model joins to the parent.

const User = Nodal.require('app/models/user.js'); //require

Tweet.joinsTo(User, {multiple:true}) //join child to parent
