## General Information

This project was built as part of my time in the July 2022 cohort at Alchemy Code Lab in Portland, Oregon.

## Features

This backend application uses Express to create a server and Postgres to create a database. It includes the functionality to Create Read Update and Delete books from the database.

## Run Locally

| `npm start`            | Starts the app - should only be used in production as changes will not get reloaded |

| `npm run start:watch`  | Runs the app using `nodemon` which watches for changes and reloads the app          |
