♻ Ecoleta

A better way to make the world a better place! In progress

What is Ecoleta?

Ecoleta is a way to connect people to entities that take care of the collection of specific recyclable residues, like batteries, heavy oils or paper.

The APP was created at Next Level Week #1 hosted by Rocketseat. Originally the backend was made using KnexJS and SQLite, but along the way I decided to change to Sequelize ORM and PostgreSQL for the DB.

Presentation

Getting started

This repository contains the Backend API, Frontend APP and Mobile version. You may have to configure Expo, an android or ios emulator.

git clone https://github.com/arcmena/ecoleta.git

Note: You will need to have PostgreSQL installed on your machine.

Specific database configuration

After installing the dependencies, create a .env.development file in the backend directory with the following structure:

# PostgreSQL Database variables

DB_HOST=        # The DB host address. e.g.: localhost
DB_USER=        # The DB username. e.g.: postgres
DB_PASSWORD=    # The DB passowrd. e.g.: postgres
DB_DATABASE=    # The DB name. e.g.: ecoletadb
DB_PORT=        # The DB port. e.g.: 5432

After that you should be good to start running the API.
