Elastic Beanstalk installation

Getting the zip file ready

• Clone the project on your Local Machine

git clone https://github.com/3rg1s/recipes-api/

We need to include some files on our directory in order to make beanstalk work.

• First change directory to recipes-api/Api and create a new folder with name .ebextensions and inside create a new file .config and contents:

option_settings:
  - namespace: aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment 
    option_name: NPM_USE_PRODUCTION
    value: "false"

• Create a file inside the Api folder with filename .npmrc and content:

unsafe-perm=true

The folder structure should look like this:

.

├── .eslintrc.js
├── .gitignore
