Setup and start server

• To begin your server, start by installing all the dependencies:

npm install

• To start the dev server: npm run start-dev-server will use nodemon. Read more about nodemon here

• Create a .env.local file: This file will serve as your local .env file that will contain all the environment variables for the database and the jsonwebtoken verification secret for development.

• You do not need to run the npm run db-init command. The knexfile.js has already been created. Only these commands will be of use to you:

  • npm run db-make-migration migration_name e.g npm run db-make-migration create_courses_table

  • npm run db-migrate-dev will update your local database with the latest migrations

  • npm run db-migrate-up: To run the specified migration that has not yet been run e.g npm run db-migrate-up 20231107222319_create_courses_table.js, assuming it was the last migration you made. Running the command without a specified migration file also runs the last migration that was made i.e npm run db-migrate-up

  • npm run db-migrate-down: To undo the last run migration. Like above, the migration file can also be specified.

    Please refer to this documentation about knex migrations.
