Running the Application

To run the application in development mode, follow these steps:

1. Start the Server (http://localhost:3001)

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Navigate to the server directory: cd server

3. Install the server dependencies: npm install

4. To create the database:

   (For Mac or Linux ) Run npm run build-db

   (For Windows) Run npm run build-db-win

   You can also run: npm run clean-db to delete the database on Mac or Linux before rebuilding it for a fresh start npm run clean-db-win to delete the database on Windows before rebuilding it for a fresh start

5. Start the server: npm run dev

2. Start the Client (http://localhost:3000)

1. Open a second terminal window (do not close the first terminal).

2. Navigate to the client directory: cd client

3. Install the client dependencies: npm install

4. Start the client: npm run dev

TO CHECK

Test the app by browsing to the following routes, these would list contents their respective tables:

• http://localhost:3000
• http://localhost:3001/list-users http://localhost:3001/list-expense-entries

Important Notes

• Ensure that the server is running before starting the client. The client development will not function properly if the server is not running.
• "TODO:" will be a standard comment used throughout the development of the app for things to be build/added
