docker-compose, NodeJS starts before MYSQL even when using depends_on

Question

This only occurs whenever building the project docker-compose.yml but for some reason, docker doesn't wait for the port to become active and then execute the next service.

My question is: if there is any way to do this without using wait-for-it or programs similar to it

docker-compose logs:

Edit: I have also tried this which was unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance!

depends_on means only that it will wait when container starts but it does not mean that service inside that container is ready. Look here how you have to wait for db is ready https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/blob/master/api/docker/php/docker-entrypoint.sh#L29
