Introduction

This project is for the module "PBO" @HTW-Dresden. The goal is, to give the people an example, how the interaction between a self developed backend (node.js) and frontend (vue.js) could work. We implemented a little register and login application.

Installation

1. Install required environment

First of all, you need the following:

• PostgreSQL (10.x)
• node.js (min 10.x)
• Vue-Cli (npm install -g @vue/cli)
• Knex.js, global installation (npm install knex -g)

2. Module installation

After cloning the repository you need to run the node module installer (be sure to be in the directory).

npm install

3. Create Database

Create a new Database (using PostgreSQL commandline)

create database [databasename];

4. Edit Database file

1. Make a copy from knexfile.js.edit and name it knexfile.js
2. Open the file and update your database/username/password from postgreSQL

5. Run migration script

Now we create the table

knex migrate:latest

Tip: you can undo/delete the migration with knex migrate:rollback
