## Developing

You can replicate the PostgreSQL table structure by running the following query

on your local Postgres server:

```sql

CREATE TABLE data (

    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,

    weather_data text,

    date TIMESTAMP default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

);

```

To start up the Express server, run `npm run devstart`. This will start it with

Nodemon, so the server will automatically restart whenever you make changes to

important files. You can view it at `localhost:5000`.

To start a local Postgres server, run `psql postgresql://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][/dbname]`,

filling in your server's information where appropriate.

You should create a `.env` file with the following values assigned:

- DATABASE_URL

- OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY

	- This project uses the [Current Weather API](https://openweathermap.org/current#min) from

	Open Weather Map to get the weather data.

	- You can sign up for a free API key [here](https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys).

**NOTE:** The project is coded to retrieve new data if the Postgres data is older

than five minutes. However, the server's time zone may differ from yours, so it may

unnecessarily retrieve new data, or it may not gather new data when it should. I

am currently unaware of an easy solution to this, without gathering new data on

automatic intervals, so suggestions are welcome.
