Express PostgreSQL React

Installation

Make sure you have PostgreSQL installed on your computer.

1. Clone the repository with git clone.

2. Install dependencies with npm install.

3. Create a .env file and set your environment variables (LinkedIn tokens will need to be provided). It should look like this:

   1. "DATABASE" should be the name you give your database (not your server) in pgAdmin
   2. "USER" should match the "username" when you create your database
   3. "PASSWORD" should match the password for your database

DATABASE=yourdatabase
USER=youruser
PASSWORD=yourpassword
LAN_TOKEN=anythinggoeshere
SESSION_SECRET=bagelsinthewind
LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID=786t2e05bh0c2d
LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET=P6uAEw94o9jNOMaE
CLOUDINARY_NAME=your_cloud_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
CLOUDINARY_UPLOAD_PRESET=your_upload_preset

4. Create a database in PostgreSQL (and make sure you have pgAdmin).cd

5. Update DATABASE, USER, PASSWORD, CLOUDINARY_NAME, CLOUDINARY_API_KEY, CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET and CLOUDINARY_UPLOAD_PRESET in .env with your credentials.

6. Run the Knex migrations with npx knex migrate:latest.

7. Run the Knex seeds with npx knex seed:run.

8. Run the server with npm run server.

9. In pgAdmin, find the query tool and set your role to admin with:

update users set role_id = 3 where id='your_user_id'

Environment Variables

SESSION_SECRET DATABASE USER PASSWORD LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET LAN_TOKEN
