About

RPI Petitions is a web application that is developed by the RPI Student Senate's Web Technologies Group. It aims to bridge the gap between the student body and the Student Senate, allowing the student body to bring up campus-wide concerns.

Local Development

Docker and Node are required for local development. Run a docker container for a postgres database

docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_DB=petitions -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

If you run the command exactly, the following will be needed to be added to .env

DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/petitions"

In order to push the database schema, run the following command

npx drizzle-kit push

To add a user, in case I have not figured out how to add seeded users,

npx drizzle-kit studio

You can insert a user into the users table.
