ABOUT

this is the repository for the UoM Gamdev Socities Website, forked from the hacksoc website

SETUP

this is temp notes for how i set this up locally

run npm i

set up the env file

copy .env.example into a file called .env

Minimum needed so far

PORT=8080
ENVIRONMENT="dev"

DB_DIALECT="mysql"
DB_DATABASE="gamedev"
DB_HOST="localhost"
DB_USER="[USERNAME]"
DB_PASSWORD="[PASSWORD]"

SESSIONS_SECRET="[SECRET]"

also create a database called gamedev, or w.e you want but change the DB_DATABASE accordingly i think secret can be anything, not really sure what it does right now.

run the webserver

to run the webserver use the command npm run dev, this should run the server on localhost:8080 by default

might need to setup nodemon globaly, not sure command is npm install -g nodemon if running the server doesnt work
