Local Startup Guide

Step 1

You need to add a .env file with:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://tetris_player:password@localhost:5432/tetris_be
HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_MAUVE_URL=postgres://tetris_player:password@localhost:5432/tetris_test_be
SECRET=lksdhglef23092382efhsdof9p8whedfauiwhdgi02088234t9w3efhsx
REDIS_URL=6379
PORT=4000
CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000
NODE_ENV=development
EMAIL_PASSWORD=*y2te^c7sb(*&3noU(W
FRONT_END_URL=http://localhost:3000/

Note: Production env variables will vary. This is just the values you need to get this working locally.

Step 2

Install Redis:

Use the following commands to install the last version of the Redis cli:

Do this in a new terminal from your home directory.

wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz

cd redis-stable

make

What is Redis? TLDR: Is a local storage that holds cookies instead of tokens and hold them on the back end instead of on the browser. At least in terms of this project. Read the docs here!

Step 3

Yarn or npm install.

Then cd into the src/ directory and run redis-server.

Once Redis server is running, open your repo directory in another terminal and run yarn server.

If everything was done correctly then your server should be successfully running on http://localhost:4000/graphql! Go to server url in browser and you should GraphQL Playground. Check out the docs tab and register your first user!
