Northcoders News API

I have created this as a back-end project while doing the Software Development Bootcamp with Northcoders. The NC News API uses psql to set up a database representing a social media platform where users can post and discuss a wide variety of content covering many topics (similar to Reddit). The server is now live, and hosted here! 😄 🥳

To install:

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/j3llybean42/be-nc-news.git

Instructions:

1. Create 2 files, ".env.test" and ".env.development"
2. In the .env.development file, add "PGDATABASE=database_name"
3. In the .env.test file, add "PGDATABASE=database_name_test"
4. Add your .env files to the .gitignore file, or use ".env.*"
