PERN Starter

Starter kit for PERN (Postgres, Express, React, and Node) stack apps with full-stack JWT-based user authentication

• Uses knex for dynamic SQL query building, database migrations and seeding
• Uses jsonwebtoken for user authentication and bcrypt for password encryption

Set up

• Start a new project without the repository's commit history: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/j3k2/pern-starter.git <your-project-name>.
• Create .env file in the root directory with DATABASE_URL (connection string for your Postgres database) and JWT_SECRET (secret to be used for JWT signature).
• Run the initial database migration with knex migrate:latest.
