Tech Stack:

• Typescript (npm, use tsc)
• Express (npm)
• Sequelize (npm)
• Postgres
• Heroku

Running Locally

Make sure you have Node.js and the Heroku CLI installed. Must be logged into Heroku

$ git clone https://github.com/shelbykauth/kauth-recipes-api-node.git # or clone your own fork
$ cd kauth-recipes-api-node
$ npm install
$ npm start

Your app should now be running on localhost:5000.

Deployment Setup

checkout the Getting Started stuff. heroku git:remote -a <project name> will allow you to associate this with an existing project.

Before you deploy

Before deciding to push:

npm run heroku-postbuild
heroku local web

This should allow you to emulate running on heroku

Before push:

npm run format # (or format-check)
npm run lint
npm run test

Deploying to Heroku

git push heroku main
heroku open

Don't forget to push to origin!
