Games review RESTful API built using the following -

• Backend - Node.js
• Framework - Express
• Database - PostgreSQL / node-postgres
• TTD - Jest

The intention here was to mimick the building of a real world backend service (such as reddit) which will provide this information to the front end architecture

Instructions of how to clone, install dependencies, seed local database, and run tests

• Clone git repo from https://github.com/MattWorthington95/be-nc-games
• Once cloned, run npm i to install dependencies
• run npm setup-dbsto start the Database in postgres
• run npm test to run all the Jest tests

Important step - create the two .env files

You will need to create two .env files for this project: .env.test and .env.development. Into each, add PGDATABASE=<database_name_here>, with the correct database name for that environment (see /db/setup.sql for the database names). Double check that these .env files are .gitignored.

Minimum versions of Node.js and Postgres needed to run the project

• psql v12.7
• Node v14.17.3
