Starting the API

Locally

npm install
npm start

Production

# Make sure the DATABASE_URL secret exists in the .env file
touch .env
echo "DATABASE_URL=<TOTES_SECRET_CONN_STRING>" >> .env

# Deploy to bc-api
`git push heroku master`
Or push to GitHub, since automatic deploys are enabled.

### Exporting Data

By default this will use variables from `getconfig` and write data to the `.export` dir in this repo. This only ones a request for each database object and saves it to a directory with a standard naming structure. *The API server will need to be running for the requests to be successful.*

**Development**

```sh
npm start # From a separate window
npm run export

Production

# Assuming to server is running at `config.baseUrl`
NODE_ENV=production npm run export
