Getting Started

Requirements

Before you begin, be sure you have the following installed:

1. The most recent versions of node and npm
2. pgAdmin 4

Installation Instructions

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/paulstgermain/vega-fe.git

2. Install packages:

npm install

3. Open pgAdmin 4 and create a new database
4. Rename the .env.example file to .env
5. Set up your .env file:

• 1. Follow the vega-fe repo installation instructions
• 2. Fill in the placeholders in the .env file's DATABASE_URL value (ex: postgresql://postgres:[PGADMIN_PASSWORD]@localhost:5432/[DATABASE_NAME]) (Remember to remove the brackets too: [])
• 3. Copy your new app's Domain value into the .env file's AUTH0_ISSUER_BASE_URL value
• 4. Copy your new API's API Audience value into the .env file's AUTH0_API_AUDIENCE value

6. Run the migration file to establish database tables:

npm run migrate

7. (Optional) To start with some dummy data in the database for demo purposes, replace all instances of both auth_id values in the db/seeds/01_jobs.js file with the user_ids of the demo users optionally created during the front-end repository's installation instructions, then run the seed file to fill the tables:

npm run seed

8. Run the app:

npm start

Usage

Available scripts:

1. start: Starts the server
2. migrate: Creates your database's tables
3. rollback: Rolls back your database's tables (WARNING: This deletes all tables, be sure you don't have data you don't want to lose in your database before running.)
4. seed: Seeds your database with dummy data for demo purposes
5. reset-db: Runs rollback, migrate, and seed commands in sequence. Useful for resetting a demo run (WARNING: Same as previous warning.)

**** (Use the app from the front end.)

1. Create an account, or sign in with your existing Auth0 account to be taken to the Dashboard
2. From the dashboard, click the pink, circular + button to add a new Job card to the board

Once you have any job card on the board, you can take any of the following actions:
