Setting up databases

You will need to create a config.js file in the src/ directory.

With this file created you can fill out the following for using a postgres dev database and a test one. You can add more info here if you'd like, for example username: 'pgUser'. Here is what my config.js file looks like:

export const testDbConfig = {
  dbName: 'boilerdb_test',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  password: 'password',
};

export const dbConfig = {
  dbName: 'boilerdb',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  password: 'password',
};
