Vinyl

A community for record enthusiasts to review their favorite albums.

Part of the application has already been built for you. Your job is to take it to completion.

Getting Started

Run $ npm run to see the list of commands available. To see what each command does, look at package.json.

The app uses a basic Express file structure, and includes SQL files to set up the schema and import data.

src/
  albums.sql          # seed album data
  database.js         # database connection and queries
  package.json        # npm standard
  public/             # static assets go here
  README.md           # you are here
  schema.sql          # define database schema here
  server.js           # web server
  views/              # html templates go here

Setting Up Your Database

Use the following commands to set up and seed your database:

1. Place a Postgres connection string in your .env file to connect to a local database
2. The npm run db:init command creates a database called vinyl, sets up the schema, and inserts seed data into the newly created database.
