Welcome to the Tweedr API!!

To get the Tweedr API set up, you know the drill.

• Install dependencies
• Create database (tweedr_dev)
• Run seed & migration
• Start the server!

Connecting Tweedr 2.0 to React

1. Run createdb tweedr_dev from the terminal. This will create the database that the tweedr express app is set up to use.

2. Run psql -d tweedr_dev -f migration_05192017.sql from migration directory of the tweedr Express app.

3. Run psql -d tweedr_dev -f seed.sql from the seed directory of the tweedr Express app.

4. From tweedr directory, which is the Express app, run yarn install.

5. From the tweedr directory, run create-react-app client. This will create a new directory client with a react app in it. (It's convention to name the front-end portion of a full-stack build client.)

6. In tweedr/client/package.json add "proxy": "http://localhost:3001/" to line 18. Make sure the line above it has a comma!

7. Now, when you want to begin hacking, run yarn start from the tweedr directory to start the Express app, and run yarn start from the tweedr/client directory (in a new terminal tab) to start the React app.

8. Don't forget to run the server and client at the same time.

Happy hacking!
