Make Me Project - Server

Backend service for the DIY Project platform. Provides an API that interacts with OpenAI to fetch DIY project details and suggestions.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm

Installation

1. Navigate to the server directory:

cd server

2. Install the dependencies:

npm install

3. Set up your environment variables:

Copy the .env.example file and create a new .env file with your own settings.

Running the Server

For development:

npm run watch:dev

For production:

npm run start

Database Setup (Prisma)

This project uses Prisma as an ORM to interact with the database. Follow these steps to set up and seed the database:

1. Ensure you have PostgreSQL installed and running on your system.

2. Apply database migrations to create the schema:

npx prisma migrate dev --name init

2.1. If there's already a migration file use this to sync:

npx prisma db push

3. If seed doesn't automatically run, it will seed the database with initial data

npx prisma db seed
# or
npx prisma migrate reset

4. Deploy in the production

npx prisma migrate dev --create-only
npx prisma migrate deploy

This sets up the database schema and populates it with initial data, allowing your server to interact with the database using Prisma.
