Run postgrest in development mode

[nilooy]

I'm new to Haskell. I need help understanding how to run postgrest locally with a watch mode.

Steps taken

1. I forked and cloned the repo
2. ran stack build

but what my next step should be? Can anyone help please?

Our Nix tooling has all you need for development! See the guide https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/nix/README.md

There's a watch command already included

$ nix-shell

$ postgrest-watch -h
postgrest-watch
Usage: postgrest-watch [-h|--help] [--] <command> ...
        <command>: Command to run
        ... : command arguments
        -h, --help: Prints help

Watch the project for changes and reinvoke the given command.

Example:
  postgrest-watch postgrest-test-io
