Node Reddit

A Reddit-like app for users to discuss and share content, built with Node and Express using Sequelize on a PostgreSQL database.

Prerequisites

• PostgreSQL
• Yarn >= 1.5.x
• Node >=10.x

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

1. Clone this repo using git clone https://github.com/csantiago132/node-reddit.git

2. Move to the appropriate directory: cd node-reddit

3. Run yarn install to install dependencies

4. If you don't have Postgres installed on your computer, please download and install using the installer for your operating system

5. Create the databases for the application by running the createdb command:

• A database to use in the application
• a database for testing the application

  createdb -U postgress -w node-reddit
  createdb -U postgress -w node-reddit-test

6. start your database by running the following command: pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres[VERSION NUMBER HERE] start

• If your postgres folder does not have a version number, run pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start

7. Run the migration scripts yarn run migrateDb on the terminal

• this will run sequelize db:migrate && sequelize db:migrate --env test

Your database is now ready to accept contacts
