PERN Stack Auth Starter API

This repo should server as a starting point for a new PERN stack project. It offers a simple user registration and login system without any long-term authorization mechanism baked in.

Dev Setup

To get the environment up and running, install the dependencies with npm install.

Next, make sure to create a .env file from the .env.template file by running:

cp .env.template .env

And modify any of the necessary environment variables.

Feel free to change the name of the SQL scripts and update the database name from auth_starter to whatever fits your application.

Then (as long as PostgreSQL is running on your machine) create the db and tables by running:

psql -f auth-starter.sql
# or if you renamed your file
psql -f your-new-file-name.sql

Finally, start up the application with npm start.
