*** SETUP / INSTALLATION ***

  1. Install dependencies [ ] Install your npm dependencies: run npm install in your terminal Start application (see note below) [ ] To start your node server and compile the boilerplate React application, run the following: npm run dev-mac OR npm run dev-win [ ] To 'access' your React application in the browser, visit: http://localhost:8080/

  2. Note: while the React app runs on http://localhost:8080, our server is going to be running on http://localhost:3000 so if you are planning to test with Postman instead of (or in addition to) using the React app, send your Postman requests to http://localhost:3000.

  3. *** PLEASE NOTE *** THE DEV-SERVER MUST RUN ON LOCALHOST:8080. This is hard-coded into our webpack-config on line 47 if you'd like to change that and also hard-coded into api.js on line 29. Because the dev-server is forced to run on localhost:8080 at the moment, if you have a Live Share session open or any other app that runs on localhost:8080 before you run the dev-server, IT WILL GLITCH OUT.

*** SETTING UP THE DATABASE ***

  1. Set up an ElephantSQL database in the cloud and create a new instance. Copy

  2. Set up your database connection Add your connection URL to the ElephantSQL database into PG_URI in models.js (line 3) - you will be using this connection string to connect to the database via a pool.

  3. Run the following command in your terminal to create empty tables in the database (omit the carrots). This will create 3 empty tables, as specified in the file: psql -d -f scratch-project_postgres_create.sql
