# Twitter Clone

Experimenting with [Dolt](https://www.dolthub.com/), a version controlled database.

## Why do I find dolt interesting?

- Managing SQL databases is always a pain. Dolt provides a better UX.

- Therefore, prototyping ideas becomes easier, especially since Dolt supports CSV import. This allows me to gradually add features to the database.

- For smaller projects, performance isn't the most important thing.

- Having access to public databases through DoltHub is handy

## Getting Started

- Install dolt `sudo curl -L https://github.com/dolthub/dolt/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bash`

- Clone dolt repo `dolt clone buwilliams/twitter-db`

- Start mysql server `dolt sql-server`

- Clone twitter-clone repo `https://github.com/buwilliams/twitter-clone.git`

- Install deps `yarn install`

- Start express server `yarn run dev:server`

## API

- GET [/user](http://localhost:3001/user)

- GET [/tweet](http://localhost:3001/tweet)
