# typescript_surrealdb_test

A small test project to try out SurrealDB with Typescript.
In the DB we will have a User table with a few entries. We will have a frontend in which we use the sdk in order to 
authenticate and read the user entries.

## Setup
With SurrealDB installed Let's start out with a on-disk test database with a single root user.
```bash
surreal start --user root --pass root rocksdb:/home/david/typescript_surrealdb_test/ts_test.db
```

In our TypeScript project let's install the surrealdb sdk.
```bash
npm i surrealdb
```

Using the TypeScript sdk we create a schemaless table 'user' with two fields: first_name and last_name. 
Also we create two test entries for that table. We then try to fetch and display these entries in our frontend.

Running our vite development server
```bash
npm run dev
```

## Results
Loading our page in the browser returns the stringified entries from our User table.
Now this is not just painless but even quite enjoyable :)
