KC Business

Work in Progress

Setup

1. Create a new database and set up a database user for it.

   • You can use the command line or a GUI tool like MySQL Workbench to create the database and user.

2. Set up the following environment variables:

   • PORT - The server port to run on
   • DB_URL - The URL of the database to connect to, including the port number and database name (e.g. jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/kcbusiness)
   • DB_USERNAME - The username of the database user you created in step 1
   • DB_PASSWORD - The password of the database user you created in step 1
   • JWT_SECRET - A secret string that will be used to sign JWTs. For example, jwtsecretkey#123
   • You can set these variables in different ways, depending on your Operating System and shell, like in Windows you can use set command, in Linux you can use export command.
   • Alternatively, for development you may be able to set up the environment variables using your IDE.
