Tech Stack

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. It uses Node.js and Express.js with Knex providing a query building for a Postgres datastore. The project uses Semantic UI framework for styling UI components.

To get setup:

  1. Download Node

    • npm install

  2. Download Postgres

    • We used the Postgres Mac app. Once you open it for the first time, initialize it.
    • You will probably need to add this to your bash or zsh config
    • export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin

  3. Create a database

    • Install knex.js
    • npm install knex -g
    • Create the database
    • createdb legit-o-meterdb
    • Migrate and Seed the database
    • knex migrate:latest
    • knex seed:run

  4. Run both the front-end React client app and the back-end Node server

  • React Front-End Client App
    • npm start
  • Node/Express Back-end Server
    • npm run server
