NLW Expert (Node.js)

A real-time voting system where users can create a poll and other users can cast their votes. The system generates a ranking among the options and updates the votes in real-time.

Requisites

Docker; Node.js;

Setup

Clone the repository; Install dependencies (npm install); Setup PostgreSQL and Redis (docker compose up -d); Copy .env.example file (cp .env.example .env); Run application (npm run dev); Test it! (I personally recommend testing with Hoppscotch).
