Initial setup for development:

Create a database postgres user with a password.

1. Install PostgreSQL.
2. Go to postgres console: psql postgres.
3. Create a postgres user with password: CREATE ROLE postgres WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'your password here'.
4. Give them a permission to create dbs, own all extensions etc.: ALTER ROLE postgres with superuser;.

Copypaste environment variables.

1. Ask someone for env.js file, put it in the root folder (next to package.json). Inside of env.js, change DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD to relevant values (your postgres's user and password).

Install needed libraries.

1. Install npm.

How to run a development site locally?

Set up database

1. Create a new development database 'memcode': make db-reset.

Start code compilers and server.

1. Run npm install.
2. make start, make backend-webpack, make frontend-webpack

Optionally: populate database.

1. Install heroku cli.
2. heroku login.
3. Make sure heroku knows about our app: heroku git:remote -a memcode.
4. Pull courses from the database with make heroku-db-pull.

How to run tests?

Set up database

1. Create a new test database 'memcode_test': make test-db-reset.

Start test-runners

1. Run npm install.
2. make test-backend for backend, and make test-frontend. Both will be automatically compiling code in the runtime, so you don't need to bother with code compilers. Both run code in **/*/... .test.js file inside of, respectively, backend and frontend folders.
