SERVER - How to properly set up dev environment:

1. open a terminal and type yarn watch (this is so typescript is converted to javascript)
2. open another terminal and type yarn dev (this watches the changes and outputs for you)

CLIENT - How to properly set up dev environment:

1. cd into client
2. yarn dev
3. http://localhost:3000

Setting up Postgresql DB (must have postgresql database server already installed):

1. connect to PostgreSQL database server using psql
2. create/enter in credentials
3. add credentials to server/src/index.ts (optional to set-up a config.ts to store password)

Setting up Redis server (must have redis installed, using WSL on windows to run Redis server on a Ubuntu terminal)

For Windows :

1. open Windows Terminal and open a new Ubuntu tab
2. run sudo service redis-server start to start redis server
3. enter in password

• should say Starting redis-server: redis-server.
• GraphQL server should run on http://localhost:4000/graphql
