Getting Started

clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/snphillips/twohue-leaderboard-server.git

get into the correct directory:

cd twohue-leaderboard-server

run npm to install all the dependencies:

npm install

start the server:

npm start

your browser should open to http://localhost:3001/ !

Now you need to create the database. To start postgres (assuming it is installed) type:

psql

To view your databases out of curiosity, type:

\list

Create the database for this project:

CREATE DATABASE twohueleaderboard;

Now create the table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS twohueleaderboard ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, player VARCHAR (12) NOT NULL, score SMALLINT NOT NULL );

To view the database table you created type:

\dt

Insert some dummy values to get you started (the "RETURNING player" is optional but it shows you the players for you to confirm the seeding worked):

INSERT INTO twohueleaderboard (player, score) VALUES ('george', 0), ('jerry', 0), ('kramer', 0), ('newman', 0), ('elaine', 0), ('puddy', 0), ('mulva', 0), ('penske', 0), ('mr pitt', 0), ('the drake', 0) RETURNING player;
