Todo with full PERN stack backend

What is this?

This project was to get experience building an entire full-stack app. I chose the PERN stack

• postgresql
• express
• react
• node This is a server I built to store to-dos.

Where's the front end?!

• The front end is located here

How do I install the server?

• clone down this repo
  • there is no need to fork
• cd into the server
• run node index.js
  • if you have nodemon installed, you can run nodemon index.js instead
  • to install nodemon globally (recommended), run npm install -g nodemon

Can I interact with the server directly?

• Yes you can!
• open a new terminal tab
  • in new terminal tab, run psql -U postgres
  • the password is moneK324

What can I do once I've connected to the server?

• you can run \l to see all servers to which you have access
• you can run \c to pick a server
• you can run \dt to see all relations in that server
  • this is important
  • it lets you see everything you can access
• once you have selected a server
  • you may run SELECT * FROM <stackName>
  • this will show you all data currently on that stack
• to exit this view entirely, you may run \q

What am I doing with this?

• run the server with npm start
• the port should be listening on port 5000
• once the server is running, there's not much else to do!
• the server will track your todos, including edits and deletions
• each todo made is given a unique id, so they will always be tracked

Credit where credit is due

• this project was built with create react app
• I followed this tutorial by The Stoic Programmers
