cultural reviews

My reviews of art, films, books, music and all other cultural curiosities.

Set up

• git clone https://github.com/davidtrussler/cultural-reviews.git creates a clone of the repo
• cd cultural-reviews
• npm install installs dependencies
• npm run dev starts a development server

The styles uses SASS so this should be installed on the development machine:

• run npm install -g sass to install gobally
• if necessary add to the PATH
• Run sass --watch src/styles/app.scss assets/styles/app.css to create the bundled CSS file and update this upon further updates

The site uses Jest to Unit tests

• npm test will run automated tests

The site is designed to use a Postgres database, though this is ommitted in the Beta release in favour of hard-coded JSON data. When that is required it will need to be installed and set up locally.

• To download and install use the Postgres documentation
• To set up locally
  • Use the sample data provided to populate a local database
  • cp .env-example .env to create a .env file
    • populate this with database login data for the local environment
