Backend

Environmental variables​

Strongly Recommended

Although the system will work with default settings without setting environment variables, it is strongly recommended to set SECRET_KEY in production.

Create .env File on backend/

FRONTEND_ORIGIN=http://localhost:8000
PORT=8001
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key

Set up database​

npm run migrate

Start backend server​

npm run start

If you do not bother to place .env files, such as in a development environment, you can start the server with npm run dev.

Database operation​

The following commands may be useful when trying things out in development:

  • drop tables: npm run drop
  • insert seed data: npm run seed
