Development instructions

These instructions are meant to explain how to do local development. They will show you how to run a local server with hot reload for both the Node.js server and the React client, as well as how to run database migrations.

Running the DB, server and client with hot reload for development

First run the database in Docker: npm run start:db
Then run the client/server: npm run dev
Running migrations with this setup: ./scripts/db-migrate.sh
Create a new migration file (to be filled in): ./scripts/db-create-migration.sh

Creating and running a test docker image for local validation

./script/build-dev.sh then ./scripts/start-dev.sh

Creating a release build

./scripts/create-release.sh
