The backend is an AWS Serverless application. It uses AWS Lambda, API Gateway and DynamoDB.
Just install the dependencies:
npm i
To run the linter:
npm run lint
To run the tests:
npm test
You need sam installed (see the documentation).
Then run the backend using:
npm run local
You will then need to change your frontend API URL to the localhost address output by sam-local.
To deploy to AWS, you must have an AWS account, configured AWS credentials, and installed NodeJS and the AWS CLI. Use the following command:
npm run push
This performs a build step and a deploy step, for details see package.json.
You can see the outputs, including the generated API base URL, by running:
npm run show
There are also some configuration options that you can override, see package.json for details.
