This project is part of the Full Stack JavaSript Nanodegree program by Udacity. It provides an api to manage products, customers and orders in an online store.

Usage

1. .env file shouldn't be added to the repo. Hence, please create .env file locally and have a look at the variables used in my file locally as an example:

POSTGRES_HOST=127.0.0.1
POSTGRES_DB=store
POSTGRES_TEST_DB=store_test
POSTGRES_USER=dev
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=dev

BCRYPT_PASSWORD=sec-pass
TOKEN_SECRET=token-secret
SALT_ROUNDS=10

ENV=test

4. Set up the postgresql db. I've used the docker-compose file provided to set it up.
   If you have docker and docker-compose installed, just run the following command: docker-compose up -d
   It will download and install postgresql image. It's going to use the env variables from .env file to set it up
   The db was running locally on port 5432 and backed on port 3000
5. Note: please change the ENV variable to test in the .env file to run the tests or set it to dev to
   see it live. The ENV=test in the test command in the package.json doesn't work.
6. npm install to install the packages
7. db-migrate up to run db migrations
8. npm build && npm start to build and run the server
9. npm run test to run the tests
