Setup

Requirements

• You will need to use vscode in order to use our auto-formatting tools and linting.
• You'll need yarn to install packages. If you ever see a package-lock.json file, you've done something wrong (delete it and run yarn install).

Environment Variables

Do not use the same MONGODB_URL that is used in production. If you want a database for development, you can just create a free one with MongoDB Atlas.

MONGODB_URL=mongodb+srv...secret...
REACT_APP_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5000

// Optional
SENDGRID_API_KEY=SG....secret...
[email protected]
DISABLE_FIREWALL=true

Commands

$ git clone https:/AI-Global/ai-portal && cd ai-portal
$ yarn install
$ yarn watch:api

see /package.json (next to "scripts") for more handy yarn commands like yarn build.
