Pause, Reflect, Plan then Take Action
Review how things are going each week
Highlight using RAG which areas I feel good about, so so, or not strong enough
Make a plan to improve on three of the items listed
As I feel like I might need general polishing in all areas, I will try and turn this into a simple express app! Let's see how it goes.
First, clone down the repo.
Then you will need to install the dependencies using npm install
or npm i
Create a .env
file to store the following:
DB_CONNECTION_STRING="your postgres SQL database external connection string"
PORT=of your choosing
URL="http://localhost:the port you chose above"
Configure the database by running:
npm run reset-database
You can also use that later if you need to clear the db and start again.
You will need two terminals to run the app.
In the first terminal run npm run server
this get's the express api up and running and allows you to talk to the database
In the second terminal start the development server using:
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev
Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to use the app.
