Transactions in Strapi v4

How to run the project

Before running the project you will need a few things:

• node
• docker
• tilt
• yarn

All of the versions of those tools can be found in the .tool-versions file. If you have asdf installed, simply run asdf install to execute this file or install the tools needed manually.

Once the setup is ready, run those commands:

yarn
tilt up

To stop the project

Simply do ctrl+c and run tilt down

Transactions

You can find two tests that demonstrate how transactions are run in Strapi v4:

• One test will commit the data
• One test will do a rollback

You can find the tests here: src/api/product/tests

To run the tests you can use the following command:

 yarn test

Env files

It is never a good idea to commit env files to a repo! But for this exercise and testing purposes I committed them.
