Setup

Dependencies

• Run npm installin project directory. This will install server-related dependencies such as express.
• cd client and run npm install. This will install client dependencies (React).

Database Prep

• Access the MySQL interface in your terminal by running mysql -u root -p
• Add a .env file to the project folder of this repository containing the MySQL authentication information for MySQL user. For example:

  DB_HOST=localhost
  DB_USER=root
  DB_NAME=ecommerce
  DB_PASS=YOURPASSWORD

• Run the following commands to your MySQL console: CREATE DATABASE ecommerce; and then USE ecommerce;.
• Run npm run migrate in the project folder of this repository, in a new terminal window. This will create the required tables in your database: "payments", "orders", "users", "guests", "artists", "products", and "product_order".
• Make sure you understand how the tables are constructed. In your MySQL console, you can run DESCRIBE tablename; to see the structure of each table. Please mind that "tablename" in DESCRIBE tablename; needs to be replaced by the name of the table that you want to describe.

Development

• Run npm start in project directory to start the Express server on port 5000.
• In another terminal, do cd client and run npm run dev to start the client in development mode with hot reloading in port 5173.
