This is the backend for RiceDiscuss. It provides an Apollo GraphQL endpoint for a MongoDB database.
Furthermore, the RiceApps leadership team has a list of tutorials you can ask them for.
Before starting, ask a RiceApps team lead for access to this repository.
First, clone this repository. Open your terminal and run
$ git clone https://github.com/rice-apps/RiceDiscuss-backend.git
Create a new branch, preferably naming it after yourself or the feature you're working on.
$ git checkout -b <your branch name>
To install dependencies into a local node_modules folder, run
$ npm install
If you do not have node and npm installed, install them from the NodeJS website.
Finally, create a remote for your branch on github by running
$ git push -u origin <your branch name>
Create a copy of the .env.example file located at the root of the project directory and rename the copy .env
Ask a current developer for the appropriate information to fill into the example.
Once you're done with your feature, create a pull request on GitHub with an informative title and description.
After a team lead merges your branch, delete both your remote and local copy.
