gxydb-api

Backend API for the BB galaxy system.

Development Environment

In local dev env we use docker-compose to have our dependencies setup for us.

Fire up all services

docker-compose up -d

CLI access to local dev db

docker-compose exec db psql -U user -d galaxy

Try out the API

To try out authenticated endpoints on your local environment set the SKIP_AUTH=true environment variable. This will allow every request to any endpoint.

However, on production, you must send a valid Authorization header. You can get one by inspecting network traffic in browser after login in. Copy paste the value of the Authorization header and use that.
