Cuposugah API (server-side)

Setup

Install dependencies with npm install.

Creating The DB

You need to use a machine with PostgreSQL installed on it.

Create a database with the command CREATE DATABASE neighbourhood;.

Copy the .env.example file to .env.development and fill in the necessary PostgreSQL configuration (all the [ ] need to be filled using your configuration data). You also need to have a Cloudinary account and keys to be able to upload pictures.

PGHOST=localhost
PGUSER=[]
PGDATABASE=neighbourhood
PGPASSWORD=[]
PGPORT=5432 (or the PORT you are using for postgresql)

CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=[]
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=[]
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=[]
