To use the database you will need to set up the environment variables.
2 files will need to be added, they will need to be .env. then the relevant file name as this will allow you to access our testing or development data.
Please kindly complete this task with the relevant name for the files depending on whether you need a test or a development file, an example would be .env.test or .env.development
The clue to your set up is in the example.
Best of luck.
A link to the hosted project can be found below: https://nc-news-project-q9w2.onrender.com

If one was to clone it, it could be found at this link https://github.com/Calscode/Backend-project-DB You would need to do npm install to install all of the relevant dependencies. The code was done with Node v23.10.0 and Postgres psql (PostgreSQL) 14.17 (Homebrew).
