Backend Setup

To setup the backend locally, navigate to the folder packages/back and run:

$ yarn install
$ yarn start

To initialise database, either create a postgres instance that complies with the default connection string in packages/back/src/knexfile.js or edit the default connection string to comply with your preferred postgres instance.

Next, run this command to migrate to latest schema: knex migrate:latest

To seed the database, you can run: knex seed:run

Access the backend endpoints at localhost:5000
