Working Example

Hi,

Where can I find a full working example of Fortune.js with one of the data-adapters.

cheers.

Most users are using it in closed source projects.

I built a toy project for a non-trivial example, though it is a little out of date now.

There's also a more complete app that's open sourced.

Hi @ashishtilara ! Are you having a specific issue with any one part of Fortune? If you are, let us know and we can try to help out with the specific question.

One thing I find useful is to start off with the memory adapter, which is what you get out of the box. Once you see how that works, adding in one of the other adapters (like Postgres) may be more straightforward.

Let me know if that helps!

Thank you @daliwali.

@jmeas I am about to start a new project and was considering using fortune in AWS lambda functions with API Gateway facilitating http like environment. Also currently my database is tied with MySQL so I might have to write MySQL adapter, is there any reason why it wasn't implemented along with other adapters, I mean was there any limitations?

Thank you for the help guys..! 😃

There's no MySQL adapter because MySQL doesn't support array columns. Fortune.js makes extensive use of array types, especially for relationships. Besides that, there may be other Postgres features that MySQL doesn't have, such as JSONB type.
