TDDD17---Twitter
How to run
The first thing to do is the create an app at Twitter so you get the four API-keys that are needed to talk to the Twitter API. You can create these keys at here. The keys needs to be added to a file called .env in the backend directory. You need to save them as specific names, these names can be found in the index.js file inside backend/src/api.
This project runs using docker containers, the easiest way to run it is to run the docker-compose file at the top. It will setup everything for you. You can use docker-compose up the first time at the top level of the project.
After this is done, you need to enter the backend-container and run the command: sequelize db:migrate to setup the database. When this is done you can start to examine tweets live.
The frontend can be accessed at http://localhost:3000.
