How to Install

git clone https://github.com/Neptuniam/134-HomepageV2
npm install
composer install
cp .env.example .env

Configure Database settings in .env
Create a database called what you'd like
change these three lines in .env:

    DB_DATABASE=<the db you just created>
    DB_USERNAME=<your mysql username>
    DB_PASSWORD=<your mysql password (if needed)>

Finalize your .env set up (I think you need to rerun this whenever you change .env)
php artisan key:generate
Set up your db with these commands
Create the tables
php artisan migrate
Optional: Seed the tables with some of Liam's favourites.
This will create a profile with the user: 'Liam' and pass: 'liam' and Liams favourites bar
php artisan db:seed

You should be set to run the project now

Running

Depending on your current needs there are two approaches:

Using the homepage:

    npm run development (this builds the mot recent JavaScript, will take a minute)
    php artisan serve (this hosts the local server)

Developing. This involves using two tabs to host a hot build to rebuild the js as you make changes and the local server

Note: You will likely have to refresh once the js is rebuilt to see your changes

    npm run watch-poll (this will take a minute)
    php artisan serve
