Due to versioning issues with pg-native and later versions of node this project was setup in Node version 12~, please ensure that node version manager is using 12 before installing dependencies.
To install dependencies checkout branch pdw-dev, for the latest working branch, and run npm install to install all dependencies
This project requires a PostgresQL database.
Once you have initialized a new database please run cp example.env .env or equivalent from your console and fill out the following fields with the relevant PostgresQL credentials: DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME.
The script npm run db:reset will initialize all the relevant tables and seeds. I recommend adjusting the users seeds with user data, and emails that pertain to yourself so that you can test the nodemailer functionality on the admin side. Passwords are stored hashed with bcrypt, the example seeds are the phrase 'password' hashed.
You may reset your password from the app after logging in initially.
