This backend uses a PostgreSQL local database so you will need to download postgreSQL or change the db connection to link to a cloud based database.
Once you have postgreSQL you are ready to start.
Clone this repo onto your local machine and navigate into the folder.
Run npm install or npm i in the terminal while in the root of the folder you just cloned
Run the following commands npm run dbinit and then npm run dbseed
The first command, npm run dbinit will initialize your database
The second command, npm run dbseed will populate or seed your database with some data
Create a .env file, in the terminal you can run touch .env
In the .env file write the following;
PORT=8000
PG_HOST=localhost
PG_PORT=5432
PG_DATABASE=snacks_dev
PG_USER=postgres
You can now run npm start
Your backend should now be up and running here, visit here and ensure you are getting the snacks data
If everything is working you can now checkout how to get the frontend up and running or feel free to build your own
