Description

This is a project to practice our full-stack web development abilities, using PostgreSQL, Express, Node, and jQuery.

Getting Started

1. Create an .env by using .env.example as a reference: cp .env.example .env
2. Create a local PostgreSQL database: CREATE ROLE labber WITH LOGIN password 'labber';
CREATE DATABASE midterm OWNER labber;
3. Update the .env file with your correct local information

• username: labber
• password: labber
• database: midterm
• an API key from LinkPreview (there's a free tier)

3. Install dependencies: npm i
4. Fix to binaries for sass: npm rebuild node-sass
5. 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
