Database init and how to use and edit

In order to use the database, you must have Postgresql installed on your system and environment file set as adviced in dotenv-guide.

In your terminal give the following commands at the backend folder, in order to initiate the database:

$ npm run createdb

$ npm run migrate

Start the server in your terminal with following command at the project root folder (for now in database folder):

$ npm run start

You must use migrations when editing the database because the production database cannot be dropped!!!
