We will be building an API for the purpose of accessing application data programmatically. The intention here is to mimic the building of a real world backend service (such as reddit) which should provide this information to the front end architecture.
Your database will be PSQL, and you will interact with it using node-postgres.
After cloning this repo, you must create the following two files in your root directory, with the line of code:
- .env.test
PGDATABASE=nc_news_test
- .env.development
PGDATABASE=nc_news_test
This will grant access to the required environment variables on your local machine, and subsequently, enable connection to the test and development databases.
