The following steps are only for one of the group members to perform.
- Create your own copy of this repo using the
Use This Template
button, ideally using the name of your project. The repo should be marked Public - Verify that the skeleton code now shows up in your repo on GitHub, you should be automatically redirected
- Clone your copy of the repo to your dev machine
- Add your team members as collaborators to the project so that they can push to this repo
- Let your team members know the repo URL so that they use the same repo (they should not create a copy/fork of this repo since that will add additional workflow complexity to the project)
- Create the
.env
by using.env.example
as a reference:cp .env.example .env
- Update the .env file with your correct local information
- username:
labber
- password:
labber
- database:
midterm
- Install dependencies:
npm i
- Fix to binaries for sass:
npm rebuild node-sass
- Reset database:
npm run db:reset
- Check the db folder to see what gets created and seeded in the SDB
- Run the server:
npm run local
- Note: nodemon is used, so you should not have to restart your server
- Visit
http://localhost:8080/
- Do not edit the
layout.css
file directly, it is auto-generated bylayout.scss
. - Split routes into their own resource-based file names, as demonstrated with
users.js
andwidgets.js
. - Split database schema (table definitions) and seeds (inserts) into separate files, one per table. See
db
folder for pre-populated examples. - Use helper functions to run your SQL queries and clean up any data coming back from the database. See
db/queries
for pre-populated examples. - Use the
npm run db:reset
command each time there is a change to the database schema or seeds.- It runs through each of the files, in order, and executes them against the database.
- Note: you will lose all newly created (test) data each time this is run, since the schema files will tend to
DROP
the tables and recreate them.
