Configuration Folder 🗂️

This folder contains important configuration files for setting up the backend application.

sequelize.js 🔧

This file sets up the database configuration for different stages of development. It helps the application connect to the database depending on whether you are working locally, in a staging environment, or in a production environment.

Environment Variables 🌱

To keep sensitive information like database credentials safe, we use environment variables. Before running the application, you need to set these variables in your environment. Here’s what you need to set:

  • DB_USERNAME: Your PostgreSQL username 🧑‍💻
  • DB_PASSWORD: Your PostgreSQL password 🔑
  • DB_NAME: The name of your PostgreSQL database 📦
  • DB_URL: A connection URL for PostgreSQL used in staging and production environments 🌐

Configuration Settings ⚙️

The configuration is divided into three main parts:

  1. Development: Settings for when you're working on your local machine. It uses environment variables to get the database username, password, and name.

  2. Staging: Settings for a testing environment that mimics production. It uses the DB_URL environment variable to connect to the database and ensures a secure connection with SSL encryption.

  3. Production: Settings for the live environment where your application will be used by real users. Like staging, it uses the DB_URL variable and SSL encryption for secure connections.

Update these settings and environment variables based on your project needs. 🛠️
