Integrating Dummy Data Algorithm

[mstronck]

Types of changes

• Bugfix (change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (change which adds functionality)
• Refactor (change which changes the codebase without affecting its external behavior)
• Non-breaking change (fix or feature that would causes existing functionality to work as expected)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)

Purpose

• Needed to have the containerized postgres database utilize the dummy data algorithm.
• Importing database files in splash screen and in modal code had useless setTimeouts.

Approach

1. Appended to the bottom of main.ts the 'dummy_handler' channel which may be used in the future to scale DB's
2. Declared the function dummyFunc which gets invoked immediately. This function spins up the hard coded dummy database upon application launch.
3. We know that the dummy data algorithm is working because the developer can alter the number next to scale in the hard coded dummy data configuration object to which ever scale they like. Preferably ~1000.
4. Commented out db.changeDB methods because tabs will be the way we switch between databases for launch. Should probably rename the redirectModal function in main.ts but I will keep the it the same name for the sake of merging at the time being. It will most likely be renamed within the hour.
