quickdata

Tool to generate random data in csv form, built using node.js and vue.js.

Skip to step 5 if you have git, sqlite3 and node installed. The rest of the instructions are OS agnostic.

1. Install Node.js
2. Install SQLite3 by downloading the DLL(s) and putting it in C:\WINDOWS\system32
3. Install Git for windows. For linux: apt-get install git
4. ** If on Windows, open the GitHub Desktop client and let it complete the Git installation, then open the Git Shell **
5. Make a directory for the project: mkdir code and move into the new folder: cd ./code
6. Clone project: git clone https://github.com/capttrousers/quickdata.git.
7. This will create a quickdata folder inside the code directory. Move into new project directory: cd ./quickdata.
8. Run npm install to install all dependencies / node modules and packages.
9. Run npm run build to make sure you have the latest build of the front end code.
10. (Optional) Run npm run test to run tests, but many of these will probablay fail unless you set up the db config (config/config.prod.json).
11. Run project: node ./server.js and navigate to localhost:8080 in a browser to see the quick data tool.
