Database Setup

Database schema is located here: /resources/db_schema.png

These instructions assume Postgres v 14.4 or later is installed.

First create the wings database from the command line by typing: createdb wings

Then connect to the newly created db: psql -d wings

You should get some output that looks like this:

psql (14.4)
Type "help" for help.

wings=#

At the psql prompt create a user called 'wings' by entering: CREATE USER wings;

If you get this message, then your user has been set up successfully: CREATE ROLE

Now that your database is set up, run npm run migrate-latest to create the tables, and npm run seed-data to populate seed data. The seed scripts can be run over and over to restore to the original seed data. If however, you need to re-run the migration, run the following command.

psql -d wings -f ./db/reset_migrations.sql

Then you can re-run npm run migrate-latest.

Front-end

Front-end Created with React/HTML/CSS.

Created Routes with -- "import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

This lets the developer create links between pages. Please see "https://reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6" for a detailed explanation on how to run this.
