It also details the login process via GitHub, Google, GitLab, or Magic Link, and the steps to create a new project from the Projects page.

```markdown
Project deployment with the Cloud dashboard
===========================================

This is a step-by-step guide for deploying your project on Strapi Cloud for the first time, using the Cloud dashboard.

Prerequisites

Before you can deploy your Strapi application on Strapi Cloud using the Cloud dashboard, you need to have the following prerequisites:

*   Strapi version `4.8.2` or higher
*   Project database must be compatible with PostgreSQL. Strapi does not support and does not recommend using any external databases, though it's possible to configure one (see [advanced database configuration](/cloud/advanced/database)).
*   Project source code hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com) or [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/). The connected repository can contain multiple Strapi applications. Each Strapi app must be in a separate directory.
*   Specifically for GitLab: at least have "[Maintainer](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html)" permissions for the project to import on Strapi Cloud.

Logging in to Strapi Cloud[​](#logging-in-to-strapi-cloud "Direct link to Logging in to Strapi Cloud")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Navigate to the [Strapi Cloud](https://cloud.strapi.io) login page.
    
2.  You have the options to **Log in with GitHub**, **Log in with Google**, **Log in with GitLab** or **Magic link**. Choose your preferred option and log in. This initial login will create your Strapi Cloud account. Once logged in, you will be redirected to the Strapi Cloud _Projects_ page where you can create your first Strapi Cloud project.

```javascript
const { createCoreService } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer'); // Requires nodemailer to be installed (npm install nodemailer)

// Create reusable transporter object using SMTP transport.
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'Gmail',
  auth: {
    user: 'user@gmail.com',
    pass: 'password',
  },
});

module.exports = createCoreService('api::restaurant.restaurant', ({ strapi }) => ({
  sendNewsletter(from, to, subject, text) {
    // Setup e-mail data.
    const options = {
      from,
      to,
      subject,
      text,
    };
    // Return a promise of the function that sends the email.
    return transporter.sendMail(options);
  },
}));
```

```typescript
import { factories } from '@strapi/strapi';
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer'); // Requires nodemailer to be installed (npm install nodemailer)

// Create reusable transporter object using SMTP transport.
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'Gmail',
  auth: {
    user: 'user@gmail.com',
    pass: 'password',
  },
});

export default factories.createCoreService('api::restaurant.restaurant', ({ strapi }) => ({
  sendNewsletter(from, to, subject, text) {
    // Setup e-mail data.
     const options = {
      from,
      to,
      subject,
      text,
    };

```javascript
/** * Count number of draft documents (default if status is omitted)  * in English (default locale)  * whose name starts with 'Pizzeria' */
strapi.documents('api::restaurant.restaurant').count({
  filters: {
    name: {
      $startsWith: "Pizzeria"
    }
  }
})
```

```javascript
async function setupStrapi() {
  const instance = strapi;
  const userService = strapi.plugins['users-permissions']?.services?.user;
  if (userService) {
    const originalAdd = userService.add.bind(userService);
    userService.add = async (values) => {
      const data = { ...values };
      if (!data.role) {
        const defaultRole = await strapi.db
          .query('plugin::users-permissions.role')
          .findOne({ where: { type: 'authenticated' } });
        if (defaultRole) {
          data.role = defaultRole.id;
        }
      }
      return originalAdd(data);
    };
  }
  return instance;
}
async function cleanupStrapi() {
  if (!global.strapi) {
    return;
  }
  const dbSettings = strapi.config.get('database.connection');
  await strapi.server.httpServer.close();
  await strapi.db.connection.destroy();
  if (typeof strapi.destroy === 'function') {
    await strapi.destroy();
  }
  if (dbSettings && dbSettings.connection && dbSettings.connection.filename) {
    const tmpDbFile = dbSettings.connection.filename;
    if (fs.existsSync(tmpDbFile)) {
      fs.unlinkSync(tmpDbFile);
    }
  }
}
module.exports = { setupStrapi, cleanupStrapi };
```

### Example Strapi Database Migration File (JavaScript)

Source: https://docs.strapi.io/cms/database-migrations

An example of a Strapi database migration file demonstrating how to use the Knex.js API within the `up()` function. This example shows renaming a table, renaming a column, and updating data. The `up()` function runs within a database transaction.

```javascript
module.exports = {
  async up(knex) {
    // You have full access to the Knex.js API with an already initialized connection to the database
    // Example: renaming a table
    await knex.schema.renameTable('oldName', 'newName');
    // Example: renaming a column
    await knex.schema.table('someTable', table => {
      table.renameColumn('oldName', 'newName');
    });
    // Example: updating data
    await knex.from('someTable').update({ columnName: 'newValue' }).where({ columnName: 'oldValue' });
  },
};
```

### GraphQL Pagination by Offset (Start and Limit)

Source: https://docs.strapi.io/cms/api/graphql

Demonstrates pagination using start and limit parameters in GraphQL. This offset-based approach is useful for fetching a specific range of results.

```graphql
{
  restaurants_connection(pagination: { start: 10, limit: 19 }) {
    nodes {
      documentId
      name
    }
    pageInfo {
      page
      pageSize
      pageCount
      total
    }
  }
}
```

### Strapi Testing Setup

Source: https://context7_llms

Strapi's testing framework relies on Jest and Supertest with an in-memory SQLite database. It includes helpers for automatic route and role registration, and supports TypeScript configurations.

```javascript
// tests/bootstrap.test.js
const Strapi = require('@strapi/strapi');

let instance;

beforeAll(async () => {
  instance = await Strapi({
    dir: __dirname + '/..',
    // ... other configurations
  });
  await instance.start();
});

afterAll(async () => {
  await instance.stop();
});

// Example test using supertest
const request = require('supertest')(strapi.server.httpServer);

it('should return 200 for /hello route', async () => {
  const response = await request.get('/hello');
  expect(response.status).toBe(200);
});
```
