Welcome to NC News! NC News is a full-stack web application built using Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, and React. It provides a platform for users to engage with news articles on various topics, interact with other users through comments and votes, and contribute their own content. The project is hosted here: https://nc-news-m4pj.onrender.com
To get started with NC News locally, follow these steps:
Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/your-username/nc-news.git
Navigate to the project directory: cd nc-news
Install dependencies: npm install
Seed the local database: npm run seed
To connect to the databases locally, follow these steps:
- Create two environment variable files,
.env.testand.env.development, in the root directory of the project. - In each .env file, add the corresponding line with the correct database name for that environment (which can be found in
/db/setup.sql):
Ensure that you have added .env.* to the .gitignore file to prevent those files beginning with .env from being tracked by Git.
Before running the project locally, make sure to install any necessary dependencies by running: npm install
Node.js version 14.0.0 or higher PostgreSQL version 12 or higher
