Getting Started

-Warning- As it stands this App requires an account and access to various APIs from rapidapi.com, as well as uclassify.com and rawg.io. You may still download the repo and run the server, but the external API calls will not work correctly. API keys can be added to your .env file, or APIs can be changed in api.js.

1. git clone git@github.com:symphony/smart-todo.git && cd smart-todo
2. Create the .env by using .env.example as a reference: cp .env.example .env
3. Update the .env file with your correct local information (This step requires a local SQL Database to be running on your machine. We are using PostgreSQL)

• username: labber
• password: labber
• database: midterm

4. Install dependencies: npm i
5. Fix to binaries for sass: npm rebuild node-sass
6. Reset database: npm run db:reset

• Check the db folder to see what gets created and seeded in the SDB

7. Run the server: npm run local

• Note: nodemon is used, so you should not have to restart your server

8. Visit http://localhost:3000/

Warnings & Tips

• See docs/GETTING_STARTED.md for more information
• A database will need to be run and configured to in the .env and lib/db.js file
• Do not edit the layout.css file directly, it is auto-generated by layout.scss
• Split routes into their own resource-based file names, as demonstrated with users.js and widgets.js
• Split database schema (table definitions) and seeds (inserts) into separate files, one per table. See db folder for pre-populated examples.
• Use the npm run db:reset command each time there is a change to the database schema or seeds.
  • It runs through each of the files, in order, and executes them against the database.
  • Note: you will lose all newly created (test) data each time this is run, since the schema files will tend to DROP the tables and recreate them.
