Appstarter full-stack app template

Setup

• Clone repo
• Install dependencies: yarn install:all

Create the DB

This app is set up with postgraphile and by default, the database is named backend.

To create default db

• To install postgres via homebrew: brew install postgres
• Create and modify backend/.env.development:

PGUSER = "postgres"
PGDDATABASE = "backend"
PGPASSWORD = null
PGHOST = "127.0.0.1"
PGPORT = "5432"
PGURL = "postgres:///backend"

• Modify backend/config/config.json to reflect desired db setup:

{
  "development": {
    "username": "postgres",
    "password": null,
    "database": "backend",
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "dialect": "postgres"
  }
}

• Update backend/app.ts to reflect any environment and config changes. If you change the db name, you'll need to change it in the setup:db script in package.json to cd backend && createdb [yourdbname].
