Getting Started:

1. make sure you have xcode developer tools installed

2. make sure you have docker for desktop installed

3. make sure you have node installed (use homebrew, brew install node)

Node API and Postgres DB:

1. Run API and Postgres DB as Docker containers:

bash docker compose up -d --build

2. Start up frontend, it will automatically connect:

bash cd frontend && yarn install && yarn start

• Note: you only need to run yarn install the first time you start the frontend or if you add a new package.

3. To stop the containers:

bash docker compose down

4. To remove the containers:

bash docker compose down --volumes

5. To develop the api locally:

bash cd api && yarn install && yarn start

• make sure you have the container stopped or this will not work because there will be a port conflict
