The backend for our geekspeak hack4good hackathon app, a sort of Uber-Tinder for workplace carpooling

Config

• Make sure MySQL is installed on your machine. This is needed to run the local server.
• In the root of the project, run npm run db. You should get the following output:

Connected!
Database created
successfuly created users table
successfuly add index to users table
successfuly created cars table
successfuly created drives table
successfuly add index to users table
successfuly created companies table
insert successful

Carpool-Rest-API listening at http://[::]:3000
API requests are ready to be accepted!

Some test data is added to the database during this process.

• The server listens on port 3000. This can be changed in db-config/vars.js, along with other config options such as the host. The default host is localhost.
