mcitmocks

Setup

Database

• This project uses PostgreSQL for a database, so please download Postgres from their website if you do not already have it.
• Create a database named mcitmocks_dev to use in the dev environment
• Set up user with the username mcitmocks and password password to access the DB.

Starting the Server

• Please download and use yarn as a package manager
• The server files are located at the root.
• By default, this should start at localhost:8080

yarn
yarn start

Starting the Client

• Please download and use yarn as a package manager
• The client files are located in the client folder and use a separate package.json.
• In order to use live reload features during development, we've set up a proxy.
• For development, please have the server running first in the background.

cd client
yarn
yarn start

• By default, this will start at localhost:3000

Environment Variables

There are two .env files that are required to operate the app, one at the room and one in client/.env. Please use the .env.example as an example for what the files should look like But use the real environment variables I've provided to you separately.

Connecting the Database

mcitmocks uses Prisma as our DB Client. The VSCode Extension may also be useful.

In order to run migrations and update to the latest DB schema, use:

yarn run prisma migrate dev

If you have an existing database you need to (and are able to) overwrite, use:

yarn run prisma migrate reset

See the Prisma documentation for more information.
