TL;DR Setup Guide

First you must somehow get the files to your machine. Below outlines two options.

Using Boldr-CLI:

   yarn global --add boldr-cli
   boldr-cli init
   cd boldr-api
   yarn
   mv boldrrc.example .boldrrc

Using git:

  git clone git@github.com:boldr/boldr-api.git <DIR_NAME>
  cd <DIR_NAME>
  yarn
  mv boldrrc.example .boldrrc

Service Setup

BoldrAPI requires a Postgres database and a Redis server to connect to. Using the docker-compose.yml file included in the repo is the quickest way.

docker-compose up --build -d starts the necessary services (postgres and redis).

Ensure the database is setup with the proper tables and seed data.
Use the command yarn migrate && yarn seed.
