Slack Clone Server

Based on the tutorial from https://awesomereact.com/playlists/slack-clone-using-graphql/0MKJ7JbVnFc.

Online demo at http://slack-clone.craigstroman.com/.

Running locally

• Requires PostgreSQL. If on a Mac use Homebrew to install. If not follow these instructions https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/pginstaller-install-postgresql/.
• Clone the repo at https://github.com/craigstroman/slack-clone-server.git.
• CD into slack-clone-server.
• Run npm install to install all required Node moduels.
• Run npm run serve to start server development environment.

Running in production

• CD into slack-clone-server.
• Run npm run prod:server.
• It will create a prod build within the build directory which can be used in production.
• You then need to upload the public directory from the root of the client to the root of the project directory on the server.
• Then deploy that directory and you can start it by running npm start.

Note: This is a work in progress. I'm continuing to update this and add features.
