GameGauge

A video game scoring system, a project to apply concepts learned regarding DB design and application.

Development

• Run command npm install in both the root directory and in the client directory.
• Run npm run dev in the root directory and npm start in the client directory
• This will run the client on port 3000 and the server on port 8000
  • use port 3000 solely for developing on the front end
  • use port 8000 to develop server (node) functionality with a preexisting client build

Deployment

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, ensure that you can build the react app in the client directory - if so, do the following before deploying:

• change .env API URI route to whatever route the app is hosted on
• ensure the environment variables are being used for nodejs

All additions to the master branch will be deployed automatically for the time being.

If you want to test the development build locally, please run heroku local web in the root directory and the web app should be running on port 5000.
