YearOneMovieList

A full stack application which allows users to search, find information and add reviews for movies.

How to Get Started

1. Requirements (with links to download)

   • Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/
   • PostgreSQL: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
   • Your favorite code editor. I use Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
   • You will need an API key to connect to the movie database API I used: https://rapidapi.com/rapidapi/api/movie-database-imdb-alternative

2. Database Setup

   • Once PostgreSQL is installed, we need to connect to the database. This link will give you directions on connecting via psql or pgAdmin: https://www.enterprisedb.com/postgres-tutorials/connecting-postgresql-using-psql-and-pgadmin

   • Once you are connected, run this command in the SQL Shell to create the database and tables for this app:

     CREATE DATABASE moviereviews;

     

   • Now we need to connect to the the new moviesreview database:

     \c moviereviews;

     

   • Our tables will be created in the app using Sequelize's sync() method.

3. App Setup (in Terminal)

   • Now in your chosen directory, run this command:

     git clone git@github.com:pakawaka1/YearOneMovieList.git

   • Next, run the following two commands:

     cd YearOneMovieList

     npm install

   • Then, in the config directory of the app, create a new file called config.env. In that file, insert your password for Postgres as well as the RAPID_API key:

     

   • Using Sequelize's sync() method, I was not able to use a variable for my password, so you may need to manually insert it as config/db.js

     

   • Now run the command nodemon to start the server at http://localhost:5000/.
