Try to commit all your changes at the end of the day. It gets messy when the day ends and you forget what you were doing. Tends to happen to Kent, so trying to avoid that from happening again.

  • ESLint
  • Git Lens or Git Blame
    • Git Lens is better (more features)

Running Local Copy

• Before running npm start, do the following:

  • startup MongoDB by running mongod
  • startup PostgreSQL DB running pgc

• Run npm start to start the server

  If you don't have PostgreSQL installed, then in the server.js file comment out line 18!

• Run npm test to run the tests

  Currently only the database tests are written. They still need to be expanded.

• Run npm run lint to lint your code, unless you're using the recommended setup above.
