How to run alacrity in developer mode

1. Rename template.env_ in the server folder to template.env.
2. Add credentials to at lease one authentication provider (twitter, Google, Github or Facebook) to template.env_.
3. Setup a local postgress database using the server.sql file found in the server folder.
4. If you wish to recieve email notifications you can add an active email and password to NODEMAILER
5. Start the frontend with npm start from the client folder
6. Start the backend server with node server.js

Note for mac os

To run the web app on your local machine:

1. cd client
2. Remove the proxy field from the package.json file.
3. run npm install http-proxy-middleware --save
4. inside src folder create setupProxy.js
5. add the following code to setupProxy.js

const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

module.exports = function(app) {
  app.use(
    '/api',
    createProxyMiddleware({
      target: 'http://localhost:5000',
      changeOrigin: true,
    })
  );
};

Note: You do not need to import this file anywhere. It is automatically registered when you start the development server.

Note: This file only supports Node's JavaScript syntax. Be sure to only use supported language features (i.e. no support for Flow, ES Modules, etc).

Note: Passing the path to the proxy function allows you to use globbing and/or pattern matching on the path, which is more flexible than the express route matching.
