## PostgreSQL
To run and develop unleash, you need to have PostgreSQL database (PostgreSQL v.9.5.x or newer) locally.
### Create a local unleash databases in postgres
```bash
$ psql postgres <<SQL
CREATE USER unleash_user WITH PASSWORD 'passord';
CREATE DATABASE unleash;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE unleash to unleash_user;
CREATE DATABASE unleash_test;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE unleash_test to unleash_user;
SQL
```
> Password is intentionally set to 'passord', which is the Norwegian word for password.
Then set env vars:
(Optional as unleash will assume these as default values).
```
export DATABASE_URL=postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash
export TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash_test
```
## PostgreSQL with docker
If you don't want to install PostgreSQL locally, you can spin up an Docker instance. We have created a script to ease this process: `scripts/docker-postgres.sh`
## Commands
```
// Install dependencies
npm install
// Start server in development
npm start:dev
// Unleash UI
http://localhost:4242
// API:
http://localhost:4242/api/
// Execute tests in all packages:
npm test
```
## Database changes
We use database migrations to track database changes.
### Making a schema change
To run migrations, you will set the environment variable for DATABASE_URL
`export DATABASE_URL=postgres://unleash_user:passord@localhost:5432/unleash`
Use db-migrate to create new migrations file.
```bash
> npm run db-migrate -- create YOUR-MIGRATION-NAME
```
All migrations require one `up` and one `down` method.
Example of a typical migration:
```js
/* eslint camelcase: "off" */
'use strict';
exports.up = function(db, cb) {
db.createTable(
'examples',
{
id: { type: 'int', primaryKey: true, notNull: true },
created_at: { type: 'timestamp', defaultValue: 'now()' },
},
cb,
);
};
exports.down = function(db, cb) {
return db.dropTable('examples', cb);
};
```
Test your migrations:
```bash
> npm run db-migrate -- up
> npm run db-migrate -- down
```
## Publishing / Releasing new packages
Please run `npm run nsp` and `npm run test` checks before publishing.
Run `npm run publish` to start the publishing process.
`npm run publish:dry`
