challenge-days

A typical Heroku Connect app built around Express. Note that other libraries are also used:

• pug as view engine
• node-postgres as PostgreSQL client
• winston as logger

Running locally

To run the application locally, you have to create a .env file using the following command:

cp .env.exemple .env

Then modify the values in the file to match your environment.

Install project dependencies with:

npm install

To launch the application with npm as Heroku does, run:

npm start

You may also use pm2 to watch changes in order to restart the application automatically:

npx pm2 start index.js --name ChallengeDays --watch
