Getting Started

Prerequisites

• iOS App: Xcode 15+, iOS 17+
• Backend: Node.js 18+, PostgreSQL 14+

Backend Setup

cd backend
npm install

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your PostgreSQL credentials and a secure JWT secret

# Create the database

# Push the schema to the database
npm run db:push

# Start the development server
npm run dev

The API server will start at http://localhost:3000.

Note: No third-party dependencies required for the iOS app. It uses only Apple frameworks.
