Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Node.js and npm should be installed on your machine.

You also need a SQL SGBD, like MySQL. If you want to use another SGBD, take a look at the ones supported by Sequelize.

npm install

Rename .env.example at the project's root to .env, and fill it with your values.

Server's port

PORT=

Database's config

DB_PASSWORD=
DB_HOST=
DB_DIALECT=mysql

If you are using another SGBD, you must take a look at sequelize's doc to set the right dialect

JWT's config

JWT_SECRET=yourSecretKey

Create STAGE_1_FILE and STAGE_2_FILE, and put your answers as binary strings in it.

First, create the tables in the database by running

./node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate

Then, you can fill it with tests data (only if you want it)

./node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:seed:all

You can find all the scripts in package.json.
