A react application to store data about your life

This is a simple journal that can help you track your daily activities and collect data about your habits and health status. Actually, there are two separate apps. The Client which serves the front-end (using React), and the API which is the back-end (using Express).

Backend

• Express - web framework
• JWT - authentication
• PostgreSQL - database
• Sequelize - ORM
• Babel - ES6 js compiler

Frontend

• React - UI library
• Formik & yup - form validation
• React mui - material ui component library
• Redux toolkit - shared state management
• Recharts - interactive charts

How to run the API

1. In your terminal, navigate to the api directory.
2. Run yarn install to install all dependencies.
3. Create a PostgreSQL database and configure sequelize by passing the DATABASE_URL environment variable e.g. postgres://user:pass@dbhost:5432/journal
4. Run yarn sequelize db:migrate to apply database migrations
5. Run yarn sequelize db:seed:all to apply demo seeds
6. Run yarn dev to start the app in development mode

How to run the Client

1. In another terminal, navigate to the client directory.
2. Run yarn install to install all dependencies.
3. Run yarn start to start the app.
