there are 5 required environment variables that are used in the application:

KEY
SECRET
PASS
ENDPOINT
CURRENCY

These are used to connect to the authenticated client, to get account related stuff.

To get the key, secret, pass you will need to create a key via gdax > settings > api.

We are only using view permissions for this app at the moment.

You need to save these somewhere secure. If you lose them, you will need to generate new ones.

Currency can be of type USD, EUR, GBP, or BTC.

When you have these, simply set the items in your .env, example:

KEY=3469038hae4ha0e9h3
SECRET=aeprhajerh09ua34zahe
PASS=ah049ja4ha0fh09a34jh
ENDPOINT=https://api.gdax.com
CURRENCY=USD

Twilio is integrated so you can send yourself text messages.

YOU will need to modify your .env to include the following:

TWILIO_SID=
TWILIO_TOKEN=
YOUR_PHONE=
TWILIO_PHONE=

yarn dev

This will use nodemon to watch for changes and restart the server with each file save. Be mindful, as it watches EVERY FILE FOR CHANGE.
