Caution: This project was not designed for use outside my own enviroment.

However, you are able to run the project locally from npm. The Database schema is under etc/mockups/db_schema/ path. To run the app you have to create a config.js file under app/config folder. The structure of the file is given bellow:

export default {
 development: {
   app: {
     admin_email: '',
   },
   db: {
     host: '',
     user: '',
     password: '',
     database: '',
   },
   server: {
     port: '',
   }
 },
 testing: {
   app: {
     admin_email: '',
   },
   db: {
     host: '',
     user: '',
     password: '',
     database: '',
   },
   server: {
     port: '',
   }
 }
}

The admin_email property is used to indicate which author profile to use as the main admin of the blog. The email needs to be registered in the database. Feel free to update the app.js file as you like.

Run the app with:

npm run serve
