Local Development

Prepare your local development environment using the following steps:

Environment variables

• If you need to set or overwrite any environment variables, they should be declared in a file named .env in the root of the togethernet directory.
• Restart your app any time an environment variable is changed

Set up the postgres database

• Install Postgress.app. Open the application to start your postgres server.
• Create a development database
• set the PG_DB environment variable to the name of the database you just created
• set the PG_USER and PG_PASSWORD environment variables to the credentials of a user that has access to the database you just created
• set up your database by running the migrations in src/db. The files are named for the order the migrations should be run. A file named with incrementing numbers represents a migration you would run to move your database forward. For example, running migration 1-2.sql should be run first, with your database going from state 1 to state 2. A file named with the numbers in reverse represents a migration to roll back the state of your database. For example, 2-1.sql would revert the state of your database from state 2 to state 1.

Install Dependencies

• Install Yarn. If you use the homebrew package manager, you can install with brew install yarn.
• Run yarn install from the root togethernet directory.
